runlevels

Package: gdm
Version: 2.4.4.7-3
Severity: important
Tags: sid
Upon installing gdm I discovered that S99gdm links had been created in
runlevels 2 3 4 5 rather than only in runlevel 5. This has the
unfortunate consequence that if gdm can't start it loops infinitely
even in runlevel 3 which is supposed to not start X.
