The wily update was not verified in three months, and wily is almost
EOL. So I removed the -proposed package.

** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu Wily)
       Status: Fix Committed => Won't Fix

Title:
  /var/lib/lightdm not created by default

Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in lightdm source package in Wily:
  Won't Fix
Status in lightdm source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  After apt-get purge lightdm the /var/lib/lightdm folder is deleted and then never recreated reinstalling the lightdm package. The folder is necessary due to the create of the .Xauthority file.

  [Test Case]
  1. $ sudo apt-get purge lightdm
  2. $ sudo apt-get install lightdm

  Expected result:
  LightDM starts
  Observed result:
  Lightdm can't start. Manually creating /var/lib/lightdm and chown lightdm:lightdm makes it work.

  [Regression Potential]
  Low. The change is to not remove /var/lib/lightdm on package removal. This directory should only be removed when the user is removed.
