        Seeing that gdm3 in wheezy was 3.4.1-8 and that "everybody" is going to 
        update to gdm3 >= 3.14.1-3 for jessie or the versions in jessie anyway I'm 
        not sure this is required?
        
        Is there some specific scenario where users would be running with 
        "unreleased", older gdm3's?

Well, partial upgrades are not “supported” per se, but they are expected
not to leave your system in an unusable state, so when there’s a
lockstep upgrade we should match it in the dependencies.
