Hey Lionel, thanks for the bug, I can understand your frustration but
your comment is misplaced, the issue you get are not with lightdm but
with packaging, Robert clearly stated before that he was probably not
the best placed to get the alternative set up and the evaluate how
derivative packaging and that he would welcome help on that, he didn't
let patches unreviewed either. The upstream lightdm code issues have
been addressed in a reasonable timeframe

Title:
  Uncleaned conffile in lightdm-gtk-greeter

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi,

  1.0.0-0ubuntu1 doesn't clean /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf,
  because $LAST_VERSION passed to dpkg-maintscript-helper is too low:
  0.9.7-0ubuntu1 (that was the one when I made the patch for this
  change), and unfortunately, 0.9.7-0ubuntu2 was uploaded in the
  meantime... This probably needs to be bumped to 1.0.0-0ubuntu1 in
  debian/lightdm-gtk-greeter.postinst, debian/lightdm-gtk-greeter.postrm
  and debian/lightdm-gtk-greeter.preinst (sorry, I can't provide a patch
  before this evening).

  So the conffile is not cleaned, update-alternatives won't replace a
  file with a symlink, of course, so I can't theme the greeter (and I'm
  starting to grow tired of that "whole lightdm is so better than gdm
  thing", because after weeks of fighting it still isn't usable by
  derivatives one day before the final freeze).

  Thanks.
