"systemctl preset" will fail if there are already conflicting symlinks.

Not following here. Different flavours of Ubuntu should probably just ship different preset files. (Or well, the main ubuntu should ship one that enables lightdm, and then the gnome flavour ship another preset file, with a lower name, tht overries the lightdm line, and enables gdm instead).
