The upgrade seems to ask what display manager you want to use but when
choosing LightDM it asks again (in a loop) so I had to choose GDM.

Title:
  gdm fails to remove if gdm is the default display manager (and another
  dm is installed)

Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “gdm” source package in Oneiric:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  TEST CASE:
  1. install gdm and lightdm
  2. Set gdm as default greeter
    $ dpkg-reconfigure gdm
    and select dpkg
  3. Remove gdm
    $ apt-get remove --purge gdm

  Result:
  gdm prerm script failed with exit status 10, then debconf prompt for the default display manager

  Expected
  debconf prompt is shown _before_ removing gdm and gdm removal only fails if there is no other choice than gdm
