[Bug 1669818] Re: Ubuntu Budgie shows debian wallpaper due to greeter recommendation
There seems to be a need to upgrade to version 2.0.2. I merged and built
successfully in a PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/lightdm-gtk-greeter
However, the Ubuntu/Debian delta is a bit over my head to describe, so I
didn't complete the changelog. Maybe some Xubuntu developer can take a
look.

Title:
Ubuntu Budgie shows debian wallpaper due to greeter recommendation
Status in lightdm-gtk-greeter package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Ubuntu Budgie, like Xubuntu uses lightdm-gtk-greeter as its default
greeter.
However, due to the recommendation of "debian-base" in debian/control,
we show all the debian wallapers in that package. Very confusing for
users.
Please can this be changed to a "Suggests:" instead?
Note - I originally asked this Q on Debian, but they declined saying
its a downstream issue
- https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=850328
I was going to attach a debdiff for the change, but the current source
for lightdm-gtk-greeter zesty does not compile under zesty due to
lightDM API changes. Was the package simply copied from Xenial?
Which begs the question - how on earth does the greeter actually work
under zesty if the API has changed!
