I'm open to adjustments. I found firefox-wrapper in workstation (from
before it was under version control) and put the pidgin and evolution
wrappers there. My reasoning at the time was that people didn't
necessarily want debathena mucking with their graphical productivity
tools in the standard configuration. The pidgin and evolution wrappers
don't do much after the first time you run them, but they do have a big
effect at that time.
(The Firefox wrapper also doesn't do much of interest if you're not
using an Athena homedir.)

evolution-wrapper creates an initial configuration which won't work
without krb4 support, so I have it depending on
debathena-evolution-data-server.
Also, what does divert.mk do if the file to be diverted doesn't exist?
(I guess it has to be something intelligent due to the iceweasel/firefox
split.)
