Package: gdm3
Version: debian/3.12.1-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainers,

Gdm3 package symlinks gdm3.service -> gdm.service but the next systemd
release will really dislike it and will mark services as failed:

test@test-Standard-PC-i440FX-PIIX-1996:~$ service gdm3 status
● gdm.service - GNOME Display Manager
   Loaded: error (Reason: Unit gdm.service failed to load properly:
File exists.)
   Active: inactive (dead)

aug 06 18:12:37 test-Standard-PC-i440FX-PIIX-1996 systemd[1]:
gdm.service: Two services allocated for the same bus name
org.gnome.DisplayManager, refusing operation.
test@test-Standard-PC-i440FX-PIIX-1996:~$ service gdm status
● gdm.service - GNOME Display Manager
   Loaded: error (Reason: Unit gdm.service failed to load properly:
File exists.)
   Active: inactive (dead)

aug 06 18:14:59 test-Standard-PC-i440FX-PIIX-1996 systemd[1]:
gdm.service: Two services allocated for the same bus name
org.gnome.DisplayManager, refusing operation.

This can already be observed with the systemd version in Ubuntu eoan-proposed.

Luckily GDM starts and lets users to log in, but the service is marked
as dead. This breaks systemd autopkgtest:

...
test_udev (__main__.ServicesTest) ... ok

Please fix the issue to let next systemd pass autopkgtest.
