I've uploaded a new xubuntu-default-settings revision that uses
alternatives for /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and
/usr/share/xsessions/default.desktop earlier today. In parallel, a new
mythbuntu-lightdm-theme package was uploaded, and its postinst does a
copy of a custom lightdm.conf file to /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf (from a
quick look).

Maybe we should state _clearly_ whether we want to support derivatives
/multi-DEs... If not, then we can continue implementing different and
not so compatible solutions in each package like we're doing right now.

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.
