Hello Andreas Beckmann! Thanks for your bug report(s) and testing.
For the case in #774889 I don't think the changes you suggest are useful at all. The gdm package has been removed from Debian and is not part of *stable*. If you intentionally keep it around anyway then in my point of view you are the maintainer of it and you need to make sure that it does not conflict with an official debian package. Requiring that debians official gdm3 package to *for all eternity* carry conflict avoidance is in my point of view not a realistic and useful requirement. The upgrade path from oldstable->stable did work. The solution is to uninstall packages you no longer want to have installed since they are not supported after removal from the archive. I'd argue that the severity of this bug report should be adjusted to wishlist, if not simply closed because no real users where harmed by this. (Can I reassign bugs to removed packages and then close them based on the package being removed? ;P) I'd like to hear your point of view on why this should be considered a release critical bug.
