Hey, sorry for the long delay in replying to this bug, but I'm a bit unsure of
the issue.

I don't think a Debian package should actually read stuff from /usr/local
(since it's installed with prefix beeing /usr), but in any case an admin
shouldn't expect to.

If the local admin wants to tune configuration, they should do it in /etc.

Looking at the code, the directories (and the order) comes from
https://github.com/Xubuntu/lightdm-gtk-greeter/blob/master/src/greeterconfiguration.c#L103
and uses g_get_system_config_dirs() (from GLib).

Also see https://docs.gtk.org/glib/func.get_system_config_dirs.html and
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir/latest/
