Title:
  [needs-packaging] Add package containing Unity Greeter badges

Status in motif package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in unity-greeter package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in motif package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Currently, only a small number of potential desktops have badges
  shipped with Unity Greeter.  Other desktops are supposed to ship their
  own [1].  However, some desktop packagers would prefer not to do this.
  For example, the MATE packagers would prefer to keep the packages the
  same in Debian and Ubuntu, and therefore would like to avoid an
  Ubuntu-specific patch like adding a Unity Greeter badge [2].

  One solution, which would keep these badges both out of the unity-
  greeter package and out of the various desktop packages, would be to
  package the badges available at [3] together in a single package.  I
  am an experienced Debian maintainer and plan to create such a package
  soon.
