I'm closing the LightDM component of this bug as "Wont Fix" as this is
external to LightDM.  The attached session file requires certain
behaviour of the xsession-wrapper and I consider this a distribution
setup choice.  The method seems quite valid however and I don't see any
problems with Debian doing it this way now or in the future.

In terms of Ubuntu using the same behaviour my vote is not too.  We
should probably put this session file into /usr/share/doc so it can be
turned on if the user desires.

Bug description:
  Hey,

  a Debian user reported a bug asking for support of a “Xclient” session
  similar to GDM. Basically it doesn't require a .desktop file
  specifying the session, but directly runs what's in .xsession.

  Another way might be to add a “Default session” entry which would let
  the Xsession wrapper do the job. In Debian, we set it to
  /etc/X11/Xsession which will fall back to that file.
