The real bug is that kdm and wdm do not participate in the shared
display-manager.service symlink management (#755359, #761642) which
should be fixed post-jessie. However, at the same time, it is gdm3 that
is doing something unusual (by suppressing plymouth-quit.service), so it
should probably also be gdm3 that mitigates bad situations caused by
that unusual configuration; and the same configuration in gdm3 can make
other broken situations worse (#780257, which I opened after thinking
about this some more). So I think gdm3 is probably the best place to fix
this particular symptom, particularly since the fix is easy.

I plan to upload the attached changes when my previous gdm3 upload has
migrated.
