Hmm, I haven't realized that the display manager's configuration file is
touch by the init script. I think that's definitely going beyond to what
an init script is supposed to do.
I also noticed that the systemd service file you wrote contains an
[Install] section but this section is not allowed in service files
for display managers at the time being since their service files
are installed through the debconf mechanism when configuring the
default display manager. This is also the reason why you are having
problems activating the service.
My patch basically copies the behavior of the lightdm package which
is already in the archives and works reasonably, so I wouldn't want
to make this patch any more complicated at this point.
OTOH, I was a bit surprised to see that you removed the ConsoleKit
dependency. I wasn't even aware that kdm actually supports logind,
does it?
Maybe we can come up with a good patch if we merge both our patches
into one that incorporates all important aspects discussed above.
