(hmmm...nobody replied, so I will ;-)
I think diversions do what I want in this case. I simply dpkg-divert
the existing Xsession file, then replace it with an Xsession that does
what I need it to do and then execs the original file at the end.
Advantages:
dpkg-divert supports arbitrary levels of diversion
no shell-script surgery required
no extra overhead for anyone who doesn't install a package that
needs the support.
Disadvantages:
only works on Debian. Darn. ;-)
