I'm fine with having nonstandard windowmanagers in the release.
A minor concern is that debathena-cluster-software isn't intended to
only contain stock Debian/Ubuntu software. A debathena metapackage
listing stock Debian/Ubuntu sotware is a very minor step away from that
policy. Probably not worth worrying about.

A third option is to list stuff directly in debathena-cluster-software,
using line breaks to delineate related groups of packages.
