+gdm3 (42.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+ In Debian 11, gdm3 provided a desktop session named "System X11 Default",
+ which would attempt to choose a desktop session implementation from
+ among many options:
+
+ - the user-specific executable or shell script ~/.xsession or ~/.Xsession
+ - the system-wide default for the x-session-manager alternative
+ - the system-wide default for the x-window-manager alternative,
+ even if it is only a window manager and not a complete desktop
+ environment
+ - as a last resort, the system-wide default for the x-terminal-emulator
+ alternative
+
+ This option's name was confusing, because it was difficult to predict
+ which desktop environment would result from choosing it, and it has
+ not been the default choice since Debian 10. It is no longer provided.
+
+ Users of ~/.xsession, ~/.Xsession, or a session manager or window manager
+ that is not already listed as an option should configure a custom session
+ definition that will run it, for example by copying
+ /usr/share/doc/gdm3/examples/custom-x11-session.desktop into
+ /etc/X11/sessions and editing it as desired. Please see the example file
+ or run yelp help:system-admin-guide/session-custom
+ to read the documentation provided by the gnome-user-docs package.
