Hi Jonas, I want to break this out to clarify your comments from a
previous post.

This is one part I'm not clear about. Let's have the following
installation scenario:

install blend-fluxbox -> depends on fluxbox -> depends on lightdm ->
depends on xorg

so, installing blend-fluxbox will force install in order: xorg, lightdm, fluxbox

Who gets to install the configuration files for each of the three files?
