This bug was fixed in the package gnome-shell - 3.8.3-1ubuntu4
---------------
gnome-shell (3.8.3-1ubuntu4) saucy; urgency=low
* Depend on libgdm instead of gdm and suggest gdm. This avoids needing to
choose between lightdm and gdm when installing gnome-shell (LP: #1162849)

Bug description:
The problem is that when someone using Ubuntu with Unity installs
gnome-shell, they are prompted to choose a display manager but there
isn't enough information about which one to choose.
Original bug report
-------------------
gnome-shell depends on gdm;
however, it is possible to use gnome-shell with another session manager (esp.
lightdm which is the default on ubuntu).
So this dependency seems too strong. It should either
* be changed to a recommend
* be a dependency on gdm | lightdm (possibly adding other session managers?)
