Also happening in 15.10 Wily, with lightdm 1.15.3-0ubuntu3

Repeated 3 times per second constantly for about 15 minutes and then
system froze - not sure if this was the cause of the freeze but it was
the only logged info immediately before the freeze.

It also occurs for gpu-manager so this may be caused by systemd-init

  Above looks weird... modprobe.d is a directory & why update-
  alternatives are called?!

  This is lightdm 1.10.5-0ubuntu1
