I don't know about the ssh and imapd problem but for xdm, the xbase pckg
have an xdm-shadow binary. Two solutions: backup xdm and make a link from
xdm-shadow to xdm, or change the /etc/init.d/xdm script to use xdm-shadow
in place of xdm. And if security is your business, looks at
os.inf.tu-dresden.de/pub/debian-non-US/ss* for sstelnet and sslayet
though I don't try it enough to say if it work well...
