xdm not starting after upgrade due to DAEMON=/usr/bin/X11/xdm

[Alexander Sieck <alexander.sieck@web.de>]

Hello,

after upgrading from Xorg 6.9 to 7.0 on debian etch amd64
xdm did not start automatically after reboot, but printed:
'Not starting X display manager (xdm); it is not the default
 display manager.'

If I change in /etc/init.d/xdm
DAEMON=/usr/bin/X11/xdm to
DAEMON=/usr/bin/xdm
xdm works like before the update.

~$ cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager
/usr/bin/xdm
~$ which xdm
/usr/bin/xdm
~$ ls -lF /usr/bin/X11
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1 2006-07-08 16:34 /usr/bin/X11 -> ./
~$ ls -lF /usr/bin/X11/xdm
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 128032 2006-07-05 19:19 /usr/bin/X11/xdm*
~$ head /var/log/Xorg.0.log

X Window System Version 7.0.0

X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.0
Build Operating System:Linux 2.6.16-1-vserver-amd64-k8 x86_64

~$ dpkg -s xdm
Package: xdm
Version: 1:1.0.5-1
~$ dpkg -s xserver-xorg
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.0.22

I am not sure, if this also happens to people which do a fresh
install of etch now. If it does, I would file a bugreport. If not,
it is not a real bug in xdm, but in the transition to 7.0.
Any hints or recommendations?
