I suspect that if I'd been running non-interactively, lightdm would have been selected, which is incorrect for our transition to GNOME. This machine was originally installed using an early Artful daily. I've been upgrading it regularly. Previously I had the system break due to some Unity components getting unseeded and thus autoremoved, which I reverted by downgrading ubuntu-desktop (and the seeds were fixed). On some subsequent upgrade my desktop switched from Unity to GNOME smoothly (except needing synaptics removing manually, which is known). I do not recall which display manager I was seeing at the time (though I do recall that the lock screen became the more minimal GNOME one). Then, today, on upgrade, I got asked about the display manager switch.
