For debian stretch, the slurm daemon have been broken out into different
packages. So the nodes only need to install the slurmd package. slurm-wlm
installs everything and thus is only needed on the controller nodes. Or
skip slurm-wlm all together and just install slurmctld on the controller
nodes and slurmd on the compute nodes.
