This whole systemd thing is new to me, and I can't say I'm terribly
enamored of it, so I'm not the best person to ask. But by way of
example, I'll point out what a couple other .service files do:

  /lib/systemd/system/rsyslog.service:
    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target
    Alias=syslog.service

  /lib/systemd/system/ssh.service:
    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target
    Alias=sshd.service

I'm pretty sure the LightDM file should have "Alias=display-
manager.service", but can't say if "WantedBy" should be "multi-
user.target" or "graphical.target" or something else.

Title:
  /lib/systemd/system/lightdm.service file has no [Install] clause

Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This concerns lightdm 1.18.1-0ubuntu1 in Xenial.

  The /lib/systemd/system/lightdm.service file lacks an [Install]
  clause. Meaning, that if you do

      # systemctl disable display-manager

  to prevent LightDM from starting, running

      # systemctl enable lightdm

  does not restore the /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service
  symlink, and thus does not re-enable LightDM to run at the next boot
  as intended.
