When I keep gdm3, the upgrade still fails. As mentioned, I needed to
drop all Breaks which had an indirect or direct dependency on
libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0, which gdm3 has.

I've been talking to Joss regarding gdm3/stable, and I wasn't able to
actually find a dialog or anything where I could trigger an URI open
request. Joss couldn't remember anymore, how he was able to exploit that
and if gdm3/stable is actually vulnerable to such an attack.
So we concluded that the stable upload is more of a precautionary
measure. We shouldn't block the glib2.0 unblock for this.
Having a working upgrade path is more important.
