This initially failed, for want of the X and then xrdb binaries in /usr/bin; they're in /usr/bin/X11/ (and dpkg -S doesn't know of a package that owns X), so I hard-linked them and my X server starts up fine. That sufficed to get xdm started (yay), though I notice it starts about seven processes, each with parent PID 1, each allegedly running the xdm binary.

Use an alternate *dm or just use startx for the time being. or cope with some bodgery (see above). > We're working hard on getting all the pieces in to testing, I'd noticed - lots of interesting change has been going on when I update.
