Package: kdm
Version: 4:3.5.3-2
Severity: wishlist
Currently, if you make a change to kdmrc from within KDE (i.e., via
KDE's graphical tools) it makes big changes to /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc.
These include deleting all the comments.
On subsequent apt-get upgrade's I get the message that kdmrc has been
customized, and that the installer will leave it alone.
It would be nice if the changes made from KDE to kdmrc were less
radical, and if these could be integrated smoothly into dpkg's upgrade
process.
The current changes are so extensive that, at least for me, running
ediff on kdmrc vs kdmrc.dpkg-dist didn't yield useful information
about which changes to merge.
I don't know if the kdm package is the home of the control center
tools that rewrite kdmrc. If it is not, it might be appropriate to
reassign this wish to there.

and was removed from the Debian archive afterwards.
It has been superseded by sddm.
See https://bugs.debian.org/803635 for details on the removal.
I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
