This bug was fixed in the package lightdm - 1.1.4.is.1.1.3-0ubuntu3
---------------
lightdm (1.1.4.is.1.1.3-0ubuntu3) precise; urgency=low
* debian/lightdm.postinst: Drop the disable-while-typing gsettings call
again. The Unity greeter already disables the mouse plugin these days, and
other known greeters do not use g-s-d.
* debian/lightdm.dirs: Really add /etc/X11/, revision 1077 did not actually
do it. (LP: #921169)

Title:
lightdm will not install cleanly into a pbuilder environment because
/etc/X11 is not present
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Although it would be odd to install lightdm without X, I think lightdm
should install successfully in a pbuilder environment. In this case
(log below) it either needs to make X a dependency or simply create
/etc/X11 if it is not present first. Personally I vote for option 2.
This was in an oneiric i386 pbuilder environment.
