I just uninstalled slim, and no attempt was made to stop the daemon in the
maintainer scripts.  This is somewhat untidy.

kthxbye

No, it is the right behavior. Slim must not be stopped while/after it
is being uninstalled for a simple reason: the process apt-get remove
started through a terminal emulator must not be killed or crap will
happen. And I doubt you had like you X session to be taken down for
uninstall a software.

Version: 1.3.0-2+rm

You filled the bug http://bugs.debian.org/531248 in Debian BTS
against the package slim. I'm closing it as fixed in *unstable*,
but it will remain open for older distributions.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/538921. That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
