Title: Changes to allow co-installation with gdm on Debian

Currently, mdm was not co-installable on Debian Wheezy with gdm or gdm3 for several reasons:

- the Debian control file conflicted the mdm package with the gdm and gdm3 packages
- mdm contained the files pixmaps/nobody.png and pixmaps/nohost.png which also existed in the gdm3 package

The image files in the pixmaps folder where renamed and the source code was adapted accordingly (using Perl regexp replace, sparing the ChangeLog file).

Furthermore, the debian/control.in mechanism file was dropped as it was not usable anymore. It was used in the original gdm package to dynamically generate the names of the package maintainers automatically during the building of the Debian package.
