Someone asked for Window Maker (wmaker) on Athena 10 on -c sipb zephyr a 
couple weeks ago.  Since I personally use it (I installed it on all the 
SIPB office heads running Debathena), I created a debathena-wmaker package 
that depends on wmaker and some popular dockapps for it.  Installing it 
(including recursive Recommends) consumes about 8M of disk space.

I've committed an equivs package to do this; I'll leave adding it to the 
cluster-software metapackage until after we've discussed whether 
non-standard window managers should be in the release or in the 
windowmanagers locker (which seems to not have been updated in 6 years 
old).

Also, I've not made up my mind on whether debathena-wmaker is the right 
name for this package and whether it should be folded into a 
debathena-extra-window-managers (or something) metapackage.
