Title:
  lightdm will not install cleanly into a pbuilder environment because
  /etc/X11 is not present

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Although it would be odd to install lightdm without X, I think lightdm
  should install successfully in a pbuilder environment.  In this case
  (log below) it either needs to make X a dependency or simply create
  /etc/X11 if it is not present first.  Personally I vote for option 2.

  This was in an oneiric i386 pbuilder environment.
