commit de7e18805c2b6baeba9117dffb935c0aa09d8be2
Author: Fabio Fantoni <fantonifabio@tiscali.it>
Date:   Sat Mar 14 15:27:23 2026 +0100

    d/muffin.postinst: fix x-window-manager alternatives priority
    
    Update x-window-manager alternatives priority from 80 to 90 based on
    Policy 11.8.4 (updated in 4.6.2).
    
    https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-customized-programs.html#packages-providing-a-window-manager
    
    The priority formula starts with 40 (base), adds 40 for compliance
    with the Window Manager Specification Project (EWMH/NetWM), and adds
    10 if the WM permits X session restart with a different window manager
    without killing the X server.
    
    muffin seems to satisfies all three criteria:
      - EWMH compliant (extensive _NET_WM_* support in the codebase)
      - Supports --replace and can be replaced by another WM
        without killing X (via WM_Sn selection mechanism)

    d/control: Build-Depend on dbus-daemon instead of dbus
