Some notes:
  1) The contents of /var/log/lightdm.log aren't being touched - so perhaps it's not getting that far?
  2) Hmm /var/log/upstart/lightdm.log

root@davros:/var/log/upstart# more lightdm.log

hmmmmmm; it looks like the lightdm packages got uninstalled (I did do an
autoremove after the update  so I suspect a dependency has gone); but
given that log it looks like something was still trying to start lightdm
and it hadn't updated to select a new dm.   So that's still a bug - but
not sure where; removing lightdm shouldn't try and start it.

Title:
  Blackscreen; lightdm not starting up after update

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,
    As of today lightdm isn't managing to start at all (blackscreen after the boot); if I log
  in on the console and then startx it's fine.

    This machine was upgraded to Utopic a month or ago and has been working fine; I did
  an apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade yeterday and it's the first reboot since then.

  Note: This machine is running KDE Framework 5 desktop
