Dear Maintainer(s),
In order to seamlessly support use cases such as usr-only images with
an ephemeral/factory reset/firstboot /etc/ it would be great to use a
sysusers.d file for the Debian-gdm user/group.

Closes: 1107682
Changes:
gdm3 (48.0-3) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Team upload
.
[ Luca Boccassi ]
* Use a sysusers.d file to create the Debian-gdm user.
This allows /usr-only images with an ephemeral/factory reset/firstboot
/etc/. (Closes: #1107682)
.
[ Simon McVittie ]
* Activate dh_installsysusers declaratively rather than imperatively.
This lets debhelper choose a good point in the sequence for it.
* d/gdm3.postrm, d/control: Don't delete system user/group during purge.
In previous discussions like #1006912 there seems to be consensus
that removing uids is dangerous because there might still be files
owned by that uid on the filesystem, causing unintended access to be
granted if the uid is subsequently reused for a different system user.
This also means we can drop the adduser dependency.
* Build-depend on gir1.2-*-dev instead of libgirepository1.0-dev.
libgirepository1.0-dev is not Multi-Arch co-installable and should be
phased out during the forky release cycle.
* d/control, d/rules: Let the package be cross-compiled.
debhelper currently uses debcrossgen which does not support cross
GObject-Introspection, so for now we need to opt-in to using
`meson env2mfile` instead.
We need to run dconf-cli from the build architecture, since we will
be unable to run it from the host architecture in general.
* d/copyright: Don't quote the FSF's former postal address
* Standards-Version: 4.7.2 (no changes required)
