Finally, I noticed that :
mv /etc/pam.d/kdm-np-kde3 /etc/pam.d/kdm-np
solved the problem.
Maybe there is something wrong with kdm-kde3 package ?

I also noticed that :
aptitude install kdm-kde3
seems to succeed but with the following error message :
cat: /etc/X11/default-display-manager: no such file or directory
[: 19: =: unexpected operator
Don't know if it's a big matter or not...
