Public bug reported:

The soon-to-be introduced Upstart feature that allows job output to be
logged has shown that lightdm is outputting a lot of data to
stdout/stderr.

/etc/init/lightdm.conf currently just execs lightdm so a quick fix is to
run instead:

  exec lightdm >/dev/null 2>&1

However, maybe lightdm should not be outputting such data by default?

Example of data:
