Comment:
I am of the opinion that there should not be any additional dependencies added, for the following reasons:

- From a commit history perspective, the current merged version of Sway includes dmenu in the example config but does not count dmenu as a dependency.  This is also true of the Foot terminal emulator.
- From a consistency perspective, the example sway config calls Foot as the terminal emulator.  If dmenu/wmenu become dependencies by nature of being included the example config, consistency would also require including Foot as a dependency.  My opinion is that it would be better to not include any of these as dependencies.
- From a design intention perspective, a WM is not a DE.  WM should not become opinionated at a package level about which packages are "official" components of the WM.  An alternative here would be to create some sort of "Sway-DE" meta-package if it is decided that a "works fresh out of the box" experience is wanted for this WM.
