Though I have nothing against this removal, and though I agree this package
should have been maintained by the GNOME team (I am sure Josselin thought it
was the case): why was this request approved without any prior
agreement from the maintainer of the package (me in that case)?

Isn't there any check made before removing a package from the archive to
ensure the request was actually my by the maintainer (in case of a RoM)?

I see also that current users of gdm (still in the archive) now miss a
feature, and as far as I know, they are currently not forced to switch to
gdm3.

Cheers,
Julien
