This is rarely a reason for a package not to be in unstable. I think the actual reason is that the *maintainer* is trying to get other GNOME build problems fixed before worrying about gdm2, which is a slightly different matter. > These sources are: > > Architecture: any > > > Not true.

All a package has to do is compile on all the architectures on which the version in testing compiled, and be in sync across all of them.
