gdm does not recommend gnome-session. It *depends* on a session manager,
defaulting to gnome-session. If you install gdm with an existing session
manager installed, it will not install gnome-session.

The dependencies are a bit incorrect, though: x-window-manager instead
of x-session-manager. I’ll fix them in the next upload.

Cheers,
