Just discussed on IRC. Summary:

 - We'll make the internal defaults DTRT, and not ship with any conffile
 - xubuntu-default-settings can then ship their own /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, preferably as a non-conffile though.
 - Default session can be set with providing a /usr/share/xsessions/default.desktop symlink instead of a configuration file. This was originally agreed in https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-cd-localization as a way to circumvent changing the conffile, but if it's not going to be a conffile any more, this is not actually required any more.

Title:
  Please let vendors easily provide their own config

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: lightdm

  Hi,

  Could you register lightdm.conf in the alternatives system? This would
  let derivatives set another default config easily (as done with gdm),
  and avoid the dpkg-divert nightmare that is going with gdm3.

  (currently, daily builds of xubuntu don't start any session because
  lightdm tries to start gnome which doesn't exist...)

  Thanks.
