This is due to xdm. If you don't like at all, deinstall the package with
'dpkg --remove xdm'. If you only don't want it started automaticaly at
boottime remove the link (!) in /etc/rc2.d ('rm /etc/rc2.d/S99xdm') and
start it than later with '/etc/init.d/xdm start' and stop it with
'/etc/init.d/xdm stop'...
