I don't have this installed, so I am not sure what you are doing, but are
you sure you're not violating policy?

4.7.4. Sharing configuration files
----------------------------------

     Only packages that are tagged _conflicting_ with each other may
     specify the same file as `conffile'.

     The maintainer scripts should not alter the conffile of _any_ package,
     including the one the scripts belong to.

I'm very nervous about the idea of some other package mucking about with
xdm's conffiles.
