(Get the code!)
Thank you Jeremy for this information (I had an intuition that it might be the case, but wasn't sure).
Re. Tim's proposal, an idea could be to have a packaged called "libgdm" that would contain all the binary files (including executable), and a package calle "gdm" that would only contain the configuration scripts that (propose to) install gdm as the default session manager (and the latter would obviously depends on the former).
Pros: would provide a better user experience for people installing gnome-shell (or other libdgm-depending packages)
Cons: it is a bit of a hack (and might even be forbidden by the debian/ubuntu package-naming policiy??...)
