Bug Description
On a dapper->hardy upgrade libc6 asks if gdm should be stoped in the terminal about "Name Service Switch update in the C library; pre-installation question" (it asks without debconf).
This questions should not be asked by default, we should do something by default here.

libc.preinst asks to restart services which cannot be restarted automatically. Surely we can comment out this test and the dist-upgrader hints the user to restart these services after an upgrade/system restart. Just asking with debconf would force the restart of gdm, which might not be the action we do want to have, while upgrading in the graphical environment.
