I suspect it may be because kdm's debconf dialog is broken:
http://bugs.debian.org/218731. If you reconfigure xdm (or gdm) and
select a DM other than kdm as the default, and then reconfigure kdm and
select kdm again, it should work. Alternatively:
# echo /usr/bin/kdm > /etc/X11/default-display-manager
