Package: gdm
Version: 2.13.0.10-2
Severity: normal
I just aptitude-upgraded the system, and gdm went from 2.8 to 2.13. After
some messages, it declared it was scheduling a gdm restart. Then, immediately,
gdm restarted. Luckily, I was on an X session which was not opened through
gdm, or, I suppose, this would have logged me out in the middle of the
upgrade.

You suppose incorrectly. gdm is signalled to restart as soon as no logins are
in use via it. As there weren't any, it restarted, which is what it should do.
