Now I've checked that tdm.service is installed in
/lib/systemd/system/ and
nowhere is explicitly stated whether to be at the level multi-user.target
or graphical.target. The level should therefore be as defined for
Debian's "display manager".
Where does one find or make the definition of 'Debian's "display
manager"'?
Why is tdm running in the following conditions on host big31?
