How shall I report a bug in the .deb packaging itself?

Probably the problem is the latest.

Since I did not install other package apart from cortina, probably what 
is holding back gdm is a package already present in the system. Hold as 
suggested.

Because the default behaviour is to automatically install recommended 
packages but not suggested ones, that is what is causing the mismatch.

The expected behaviour is autoremove to keep packages from the sets that 
will install automatically, and to remove the rest. So to depend on the 
system configuration.
