Bug description:
The /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file is a conffile, which means that
packages are not allowed to modify it. The centrifydc package in
partner, however, is intended to provide system-wide integration with
an active directory realm, which means that it needs to allow users to
enter their username - and not choose it from a finite list. As a
result, the package is modifying /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf on package
installation to set 'greeter-show-manual-login=true', which will cause
users of this package to have conffile prompts on future upgrades.
It would be helpful if lightdm had some supported mechanism for
packages to override the defaults in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf - such
as an /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d directory, or supporting reading of
overrides from gsettings under the lightdm user's account.
