Bug description:
[Impact]
The /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file is a conffile, which means that packages
are not allowed to modify it.
As a result, if any package is modifying /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
on installation to set 'greeter-show-manual-login=true', 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 .
[Test Case]
* Create autologin file, as shown below. This will fail on precise, but
work fine on saucy/trusty.
$ cat /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/10-ubuntu.conf
[SeatDefaults]
autologin-user=ubuntu-or-any-other-user-on-system
[Regression Potential]
* none that I could see, and is backport from upstream
[Other Info]
* Has been tested, and works.
* Merge https://code.launchpad.net/~lightdm-team/lightdm/1.2 against precise
