Very good to see that the dependency based boot sequencing work and is
able to detect incorrect dependencies.

The analysis from Peter Verbaan in #585493 make it clear that the
problem is the introduction of a dependency from bootlogs to gdm3, as
gdm3 already depend on bootlogs and this introduces a dependency loop.
I suspect the correct fix is for gdm3 to stop depending on bootlogs
first and then bootlogs can depend on gdm3, but the short term fix is
for bootlogs to drop the dependency on gdm3.

Happy hacking,
