gdm3 3.38.1-2 source package in Debian

Changelog

gdm3 (3.38.1-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * debian/gdm3.preinst: Add script to replace possibly wrong .conf file.
    In gdm3 versions of the 3.38 series a regression was introduced causing
    the /usr/libexec/gdm-disable-wayland tool to write its supposedly
    temporary gdm file to the persistent location.
    This is particularly harmful for users of the NVIDIA drivers as they
    will get their default config file (/etc/gdm3/daemon.conf in debian and
    /etc/gdm3/custom.conf in Ubuntu) modified for good, making impossible to
    login in a Wayland session (once nvidia driver is disabled).
    As per this, in case of upgrades or install with configuration files
    left, we replace the gdm's daemon.conf/custom.conf file in case it
    matches the one that the disable-wayland tool would produce.
