The postinst says "The next time you reboot the system, `xdm' will automatically start." IMO it should start xdm immediately, especially if it is upgrading an already installed xbase package. (I too often forgot to restart xdm after upgrading xbase.) If you believe that it is undesireable to always start xdm, the postinst script could ask whether it should start xdm (and it could show a note how to return to the original virtual console).
