Title:
  Unity-greeter only recommends lightdm

Status in unity-greeter package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm not sure if this is actually a bug, but here goes.

  Unity-greeter and the other greeter packages only recommends lightdm.
  This means that you can install a greeter, such as lightdm-gtk-greete,
  thinking that you now got lightdm installed and then reboot to find
  that it's not.

  Is there any situation in which a user or or sysadmin would want to
  have unity-greeter installed but not lightdm. Does unity-greeter
  "work" without lightdm?

  URL to the package in vivid, unity-greeter only recommends lightdm,
  does not depend on it: http://packages.ubuntu.com/vivid/unity-greeter
