Dear Andreas,
installing systemd-shim helped fine.
I'd like to note that GDM3 in Debian/testing now takes a great time to
load and that the console output is not shown right when GDM3 leaves X
mode.
Additionally; I've read on http://www.phoronix.com/ that Debian now
possibly likes to switch to systemd. Is it recommended now to switch to
systemd and install systemd-sysv?
Thank you very much.
With many greetings,
Adrian
