well, it used to be the case that xmonad would run happily without
~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs, and I’m surprised that it is not the case any more.

Upstream provides a standard configuration, it’s what’s compiled
into /usr/bin/xmonad.

We need to reproduce the problem first, and be sure that it is not
Debian specific in any way.
