So if on my computer I want to have both fluxbox and, say, awesome
installed, awesome now needs to pretend it's a session manager too?  And
the same with every other window manager out there?  That's insane...
If you think /etc/X11/Xsession.d/50x11-common_determine-startup should
be changed to not prefer a session manager if it finds one, then by all
means start a discussion about that.  But don't add such a hack to your
package just because you think fluxbox being installed means it should
override everything else.  A session manager and a window manager are
two different things.

Cheers,
Julien
