Bug Description
I'd like to upload GDM 3.5.90. The current version in the archives, 3.0 is rather dated and isn't really supported. Upstream has made quite a few changes in the 3 release cycles since 3.0, and Debian is shipping 3.4. GDM 3.5 will also be needed if we want to upgrade gnome-shell past 3.5.4 as gnome-shell now hard-depends on APIs (for the new lock screen mostly) which currently aren't satisfied by any other display manager.
I considered uploading this before feature freeze but as there were multiple high-priority bugs that needed fixed, I thought it would be better to wait until those were resolved.
My plan is to upload to -proposed and wait to push it into the regular archives after a few more people have verified that it works.
