Do we get enough testing this way?

I know my distribution. They will say: "Debian is not a testing
playroom. You can put it in "experimental" or on your site."

They will only do it, when you do it.

If you do it now, there is a change that it comes into the next stable
release (and in Ubuntu and other Debian derivates).

In Debian there is both the old GDM and the new GDM.
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/gdm
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/gdm3
http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/gdm3.html
