Title:
  Emit a warning about "logind-load-seats=true" and "xdg-seat=seatXXXX"
  option for LightDM 1.12+

Status in Light Display Manager:
  Fix Released
Status in Light Display Manager 1.14 series:
  Fix Committed
Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  LightDM 1.12 introduced a new logind-based mechanism for loading
  seats. Such a feature was later backported to 1.10.3 (so it can be
  used in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS), but it was made optional:

  [LightDM]
  logind-load-seats=true

  Now that we're halfway from a new Ubuntu LTS release, I think it would
  be useful if next LightDM release could emit a warning about "logind-
  load-seats=true" deprecation if it's set in lightdm.conf. Something
  like this:

  WARNING: Option "logind-load-seats=true" was specific for 1.10 series.
  You can safely remove it now.
