Entrance does not have to be dependent on any package in particular.
But it needs to be smart enough to find the Xsession file wherever it
exists.  IMHO, that means one of two things:  either a config file
with that path in it, or automatic searches in common places
(/etc/X11/Xsession, /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession,
/{usr,etc}/dt/config/Xsession, /usr/openwin/etc/Xsession, etc.)
