Bug#1124826: gdm3: Does not uninstall cleanly

[boruch baum]

Package: gdm3
Version: 48.0-2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: boruch_baum at gmx.com

Dear Maintainer,

When I installed gdm3 in trixie, apt installed many other gnome
packages (eg. control-center, user-docs, remote-desktop), something
like 90Mb of files. When I perform 'apt-get purge gdm3' most of those
files remained. I needed to perform 'apt-get purge gdm* && apt-get
autopurge' to rid myself of all the cruft (I hope).
