Hello,

I added breezy main sources to my sources.list,
apt-get update
apt-get build-deps gdm
apt-get source -b gdm

The package built fine, but...
Preparing to replace gdm 2.6.0.7-0ubuntu7 (using
gdm_2.8.0.4-0ubuntu6_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement gdm ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of gdm:
 gdm depends on libpam-runtime (>= 0.76-22ubuntu3); however:
 Version of libpam-runtime on system is 0.76-22.
dpkg: error processing gdm (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 gdm

So, I did a dpkg -i --force-all, which let it install, but when gdm loads it
complains about bad configuration, so it only loads the GTK+ greeter, rather
than the themed greeter, so I can't tell if it's worse or not. Using the login
screen setup util to change to the themed greeter makes no difference.
