Debian is different from other distros in that sense. X display manager is also a service unlike in case of redhat or mandrake where it is added as a display controlling tool like getty.
cd /etc/rc<your runlevel>.d/ ln -s ../init.d/xdm S99xdm update-alternatives --config display-manager
This should get you going

Or simply
update-rc.d -f xdm defaults
