  There is no such crappage in the official package:

  % wget -q http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/k/kdebase/kdm_3.3.2-1_i386.deb

  % md5sum kdm_3.3.2-1_i386.deb
  8bdda1b454c8ba78ec91accf4866b667  kdm_3.3.2-1_i386.deb

  % dpkg --fsys-tarfile kdm_3.3.2-1_i386.deb | tar xO ./etc/init.d/kdm |
    egrep 'wc|cache|XFree86' || echo not found
  not found
