Please unblock gdm for squeeze.
gdm (2.20.11-2) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Use linux-any wildcard instead of listing non-linux architectures.
* Bump standards version accordingly.
* 23_xsession-errors.patch: disable the obnoxious behavior that stops
filling .xsession-errors when there is too much output.
* Update watch file.
It’s only one simple code change that I’m attaching, and I saw enough
people complain of that behavior to think it’s worth it, even without a
bug report on its own.
Thanks,
