apt-cache fluxbox returns:
bbmail - Mail notifier for Blackbox
fbdesk - desktop icons for fluxbox window manager
fbpager - a pager application for the Fluxbox window manager
fluxbox - Highly configurable and low resource X11 Window manager
fluxconf - FluxBox configuration utility

So there is fluxbox, it is in the universe repository. apt-get install
fluxbox will install it and add an item to your gdm sessions.
