It seems that this change actually broke .dmrc files on Debian. I'm currently investigating, but it seems that the files (~/.dmrc and /var/cache/lightdm/dmrc/user.dmrc) are not updated anymore with the selected session.

It does not use any information from the dmrc files. If you have many users and/or the dmrc files are on a slow filesystem this creates a big startup delay. [Test Case] 1. Start LightDM on a system that doesn't have AccountsService and has many users Expected result: LightDM starts quickly Observed result: LightDM takes a long time to start [Regression potential] Low. We now only access the dmrc files when information from them i s required (lazy load). Tested with regression tests.
