Title:
  Split GDM packages

Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “gnome-shell” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The problem is that when someone using Ubuntu with Unity installs
  gnome-shell, they are prompted to choose a display manager but there
  isn't enough information about which one to choose.

  Original bug report
  -------------------
  gnome-shell depends on gdm;
  however, it is possible to use gnome-shell with another session manager (esp. 
lightdm which is the default on ubuntu).

  So this dependency seems too strong. It should either
  * be changed to a recommend
  * be a dependency on gdm | lightdm (possibly adding other session managers?)
