OK, roger that. I'll change it for future releases. I guess there are
plenty of packages still using dh_installxsession, though.

I am not 100% sure that's feasible, since it's separate process
communicated with mafw through libmafw-shared. I don't think mafw has
any way to start/stop processes on demand that would fit this. And I
don't think doing so would have any important benefit.
