Different people maintain different packages. One of the main
strengths of debian is that there is an "expert" who is in control of
a package. A minimal X installation is quite large. It would be very
unfair to expect someone(who donates their time) to be able to
maintain such complex programs as xdm, fvwm, and and several xservers
all at once.
