You should have been able to change that to kdm or kdm-kde4 (the real path) from "sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm" or "sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm-kde4".
I set my /etc/X11/default-display-manager to the same value as you have and "sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm-kde4" allowed me to change it to kdm or kdm-kde4

When you get back to your Gutsy session please edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/kdm-kde4.config and change line 8: "set -e to:
"set -ex"
Then re-run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm-kde4" and post the output from the console after you've chosen kdm or kdm-kde4.
