Other than the upload to -proposed (that's not what it's for) seems
reasonable. Approved.

Title:
[FFe] gdm 3.5.90
Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
I'd like to upload GDM 3.5.90. The current version in the archives,
3.0 is rather dated and isn't really supported. Upstream has made
quite a few changes in the 3 release cycles since 3.0, and Debian is
shipping 3.4. GDM 3.5 will also be needed if we want to upgrade gnome-
shell past 3.5.4 as gnome-shell now hard-depends on APIs (for the new
lock screen mostly) which currently aren't satisfied by any other
display manager.
I considered uploading this before feature freeze but as there were
multiple high-priority bugs that needed fixed, I thought it would be
better to wait until those were resolved.
My plan is to upload to -proposed and wait to push it into the regular
archives after a few more people have verified that it works.
