Bug#615000: xdm: default Xservers file points to /usr/bin/X
Package: xdm
Version: 1:1.1.10-3
Severity: normal
In recent xorg packages, you can now install xserver-xorg-core without
installing xserver-xorg. The latter contains /usr/bin/X, so without it,
xdm in its default state will fail to start the local server.
Should it instead be referring to /etc/X11/X?
