Re: Where is gdmsetup in sid?

Ok.
So, if I install Sean's package now, and later it becomes available in the
standard archives, what happens?
Lets say that both packages have the same version and name (no gdm2 to deal
with), and Sean's sources.list entry is listed before the official mirror
site.  When the new package enters sid, nothing happens, right (until the
version gets incremented, of course)?

Where does this detailed package information come from?  The packages.qa
information page isn't nearly so detailed as some of the information you
folks have discussed in the past.
