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.
