Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Users trying to use the Unity8 desktop preview in a Linux Container cannot log in using LightDM.  They are presented a black screen with a cursor.

  [Test Case]
  1. Install the Unity8 desktop preview in LXC package (currently in a PPA here: https://code.launchpad.net/~unity8-desktop-session-team/+archive/ubuntu/unity8-preview-lxc) alongside the unity8-desktop-session-mir package in Universe.  Setup the Unity8 desktop preview in LXC as shown in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity8inLXC#Setting_up_the_Unity_8_Desktop_Preview_LXC
  2. Log in to the "Unity8 Mir in LXC" session from LightDM.

  The Unity8 desktop preview will load.

  [Regression potential]
  Non observed.

  Original Description:

  It would be desirable to allow both the Unity 8 desktop preview
  session from the archive and the Unity 8 desktop preview in the LXC to
  be installed at the same time.

  Currently, the Unity 8 desktop preview in LXC conflicts the "bare
  metal" Unity 8 desktop preview session.
