Public bug reported: The gdm package provides an Upstart job /etc/init/gdm.conf but not a systemd unit. Therefore, an ubuntu-gnome system booted with systemd remains stuck on the splash screen forever with no display manager.
One is already available in the source package (data/gdm.service.in), and already installed by ‘make install’ (/lib/systemd/system/gdm.service), so it probably just needs to be added to debian/gdm.install.
