Bug#166448: xdm: prerm script hangs while stopping xdm

[Debian User <edi@gmx.de>]

Package: xdm
Version: 4.2.1-3
Severity: important

See subject. When it asks me to stop the running xdm, I confirm with y.
Though, it does not kill it and hangs. ps aufwx on another console shows
me no idling child process of prerm, so I assume that this is kinda
debconf bug, not allowing the script to read keyboard input.

MfG,
Eduard.
