Lars,
I think there's already a bug for lightdm.conf needing a manpage:
#883189 Need better(-located) documentation on lightdm.conf
You might make your other suggestion there also.

Title:
lightdm-set-defaults is undocumented in lightdm man page
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
first off, this applies to 12.10 and 12.04 and possibly earlier
versions.
secondly, in trying to figure out how to change some relatively simple
things, i've found people suggesting an edit to lightdm.conf, which
works, but clearly lightdm-set-defaults is a much better and user
friendly way to do this. the lack of any reference to what the
possible options are in the lightdm.conf versus the help page (-h) in
lightdm-set-defaults is an example of this. however, there is no
reference to it in the lightdm man page. this would be a simple fix.
it would also help to throw it into a directory that is in the $PATH
or set the directory it's installed in as part of the $PATH at
install, but perhaps i should create a different bug for this.
