I wonder where xfce4-wayland-session comes from. As far as I can tell,
it's not part of devuan or debian.

Here are all WMs, which I found using "apt-cache search 
x-window-manager":

And these additional ones, which I happened to remember and weren't in 
the list. Some of those are wayland shells, instead of X11 WMs, though. 
Not a lot of wayland shells.
