right, but what is wrong in overwriting the default in a configuration?
why doesn't that work?

btw this was uploaded this week, does it fix the issue?

lightdm (0.9.3-0ubuntu2) oneiric; urgency=low

  * Cherry-pick from upstream:
    - lightdm-set-defaults enables tweaking the default session and chosen
      greeter for lightdm. This is useful for derivatives waiting to not ship
      the whole configuration file of lightdm

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.
