This seems to be a gdm package bug. Before installing gdm, my /etc/X11/default-display-manager file contains:
/usr/sbin/lightdm

After installing gdm, the file contains:
/usr/sbin/gdm

After uninstalling gdm, the file contains:
lightdm

And now lightdm doesn't start on boot. If you fix it back to
"/usr/sbin/lightdm", it works again.

This fixed the issue for people here too:

Title:
  Not starting automatically
  (/etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.DisplayManager.conf missing)

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hello,

  I upgraded yesterday Ubuntu 11.04 into 11.10. After that I had by
  default gdm which work correctly. But i installed lightdm.

  And after a reboot, lightdm doesn't start (there is no lightdm log). I
  have to launch the service manually (/etc/init.d/lightdm start) and it
  works.
