That would be nice indeed.
I looked at lightdm and gdm3 for example and I don't get how that's
supposed to work. lightdm brings a service file with the same Alias.
Both manage the /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service symlink in
their postinst, similarly, but lightdm does not handle all possible
errors. None manages it using the alternative system
(debian/gdm3.alternatives is about PAM options).
So I think before doing any change we need to have all these packages
agree on some configuration and snippet to do that properly, and
documented.
