Hi,
please remove gdm from the unstable suite. It has been replaced by gdm3.
It will remain maintained for squeeze since there is no transition path,
but we don’t want it for wheezy.
Thanks.

File bugs (ideally upstream).

No, it's not.
You have three options. Fork gdm, become upstream for it, and get it packaged.
Help improve gdm3. Or switch to something else. Anything else is loosing
everyone's time.
