Ok, the answer to your riddle is here:
$ apt-cache show gdm
Package: gdm
...
Depends:
[...]
gnome-session | x-session-manager | x-window-manager | x-terminal-emulator,
[...]
If you install both gdm and gnome-terminal in the same run apt will
correctly consider this dependency satisfied (since gnome-terminal
Provides: x-terminal-emulator), otherwise it will chose the first
alternative, which is gnome-session (which then pulls an entire Gnome
session via Depends and Recommends).
Hope this helps,
Andrei
Thank you. So there is no Debian bug and what I had done
wasn't completely unreasonable. I've seen similar situations
back in the days when it was simpler to use random logic
than microprocessors.
