didrocks, I will also work on an upstreamable solution, but I am not
very satisfied with your unwillingness to see things from my
perspective. You have essentially broken GDM3 for all Ubuntu
derivatives, forcing your theme upon them, and then having no desire to
work on any solution to remove this hard-coded theming

Title:
  Allow safe override of GDM3 theme

Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Currently, in artful, GDM3's theme is hardcoded to be /usr/share
  /gnome-shell/theme/ubuntu.css

  In the Ubuntu default session, this is the same CSS file as the gnome-
  shell mode in /usr/share/gnome-shell/modes/ubuntu.json

  However, in other flavors, it makes sense to install another mode json
  and theme css file with a clear name. Take, for instance, pop-session,
  that installs /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/pop.css and /usr/share
  /gnome-shell/modes/pop.json

  In order to supply a custom GDM3 theme, which is currently hardcoded,
  the ubuntu.css file must be replaced with this pop.css file. This
  breaks ubuntu-session, causing it to have a different shell theme than
  expected.

  What would be desirable is for the GDM3 CSS file to be hardcoded to
  gdm.css, which would be a symlink to the correct stylesheet for the
  flavor. This would allow multiple GNOME Shell sessions to be installed
  at the same time.
