While this configuration is old, it will continue to work. However, if
this file is changed then accountsservice should also be updated to look
in the new location.
I did look at this a while ago and decided it was too much to fix (and
I'm not confident enough in this area) when I changed the configuration
file conventions. It should be updated however.
It should be fixed at some point though.

Title:
16.04 casper 15_autologin file contains obsolete lightdm configuration
Status in accountsservice package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Status in casper package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper-bottom/15autologin
the lightdm section of the file contains a lightdm configuration that
is incorrect for 15.10 and later
for example it writes out /root/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
according to the lightdm wiki this should be
/root/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/xyz.conf
Additionally using [SeatDefaults] is wrong. Again according the wiki
[SeatDefaults] is obsolete and should be [Seat:*]
Think this is probably why manual live CD creators and those who use
Pinguy ISO Builder cannot create a lightdm autologin live CD
