Re: gdm is old.
I use to get gdm from there:
http://files.hadess.net/debian/
I don't see a good reason to keep gdm1. I remember that before gnome2
hits sid, the excuse was that gnome2 was not in sid. Now it's just a
package that need to be adopted (read hijacked) IMHO.
It would not be funny to see the next release with gnome2 and gdm1.
