I'm doing some updates for nodm and had a look at this bug, too. Is this bug still relevant? I do not see any indications on tracker.debian.org nor any related lintian problem. Further the patch in [1] is only partially applied to gdm3 (no relevant change in postinst compared to nodm) and it contradicts at least 1. of the list above (it *removes* the systemd unit Alias=display-manager.service). I compared the postints of gdm3 and nodem and they are the same in this regard. Further the systemd unit file of nodm does not contain Alias=display-manager.service (so no patch needed here?).
