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.
