Not only is this bad advice in general but it's particularly bad
advice in this specific case because upstream GDM now depends on
systemd and the Debian maintainers must be doing quite some work in
order to remove it. The Gentoo GNOME maintainers have decided that
decoupling GDM/GNOME from systemd would be too much work and are
shipping them with that dependency, so this work must be
time-comsuming and cannot be straightforward...
