No, it's not a bug in the sense that we only require *an* implementation
of the Unity.Application module, and the Mir one is preferred, as it's
the only real implementation. So installing just unity8 won't get you
the fake one that will let you run under X11 - you need to install it
manually. We could improve the error message, that's for sure.

As for the missing lightdm session, it's the first I've heard, did you
reboot after installing it? Can you please file a bug against unity8
-desktop-session for this please?
