Package: xdm

Severity: wishlist
File: /etc/init.d/xdm

If
invoke-rc.d xdm restart
or
invoke-rc.d xdm start
fails, it would be best to print some message, e.g.,
..."failed, see /var/log/XFree86.0.log"
Any message is better than none.

I concur; and closing this bug report instead of keeping it wontfix
