Okay, this will work for me, at least on my current system. I now see it didn't come out that way, but I intended to ask about this in the context of package management when prefdm is no more (i.e., no catch-all default under /lib). I suppose it would be better for me to wait until a bigger player such as gdm takes the plunge, then I can follow suit. > My recommendation is to simply list display-manager.service in Alias= in > [Install] in your unit file.

I will use this and a manual symlink in /etc for the time being. Thanks.
