Because no one never documented exactly what is needed to be providing
dm, or what it exactly mean.

Does it mean to be one of the choice of the prefdm service ?
Does it mean to be able to understand /etc/X11/wmsession.d/ ?
Ant others need to be seen as dm ? Where would it have impact, in
drakdm, somewhere ?

Without enough formalism in the interaction of rpms, this is just gonna
be a hack. People will add provides, will change stuff, without any
consistency, and curiously, that later cause issues.
