 Indeed; unfortunately, the package currently in unstable can not be
 built automatically in debug mode, it requires some modifications; the
 version in SVN supports it though.

 So, we can continue debugging in the following ways:
 1) build out of SVN:
   - checkout from
     svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-gnome/desktop/unstable/gdm
   - take the tarball from the archive, put in ../tarballs
   - build with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nostrip noopt" svn-buildpackage
 2) take the source from the archive and:
   - add on top of the file:
     CFLAGS += -Wall -g -O$(if $(findstring noopt,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)),0,2)
   - change ./configure $(configure_flags) into:
     ./configure $(configure_flags) CFLAGS="$(CFLAGS)"
 3) ask me to build packages in debug mode for you


 What do you prefer?

 I'll try to introduce a "gdm-dbg" package as soon as the current
 package in unstable starts being stabilized.
