Bug#360377: How about support the gdm.conf-custom rename that NEWS.gz mentions (if not mandates)?

Package: gdm
Version: 2.13.0.10-2
Severity: normal

Subject says it all, but anyway:

NEWS mentions that user settings (user being root, but that's GNOME
for ya) go to gdm.conf-custom.  It also mentions that the upstream
release does the gdm.conf -> gdm.conf-custom rename on make install,
if needed.

Would be quite nice if Debian could follow this guideline.
