Converting all *dm packages to have /etc/X11/default-display-manager be
handled as an alternative seems too expensive to me.

So I think we are down to two options:

 * Add an upgrade quirk to update-manager to remove gdm. Then you'd only
get the question if you use apt-get, which is fair I think. However, it
means that you can't restart your session if the upgrade gets
interrupted, or after the upgrade finished.

 * Lower debconf priority and make lightdm the default when you install
it from scratch. That would mean that lightdm would behave differently
than other *dms, and would make itself the default automatically. Given
that you just installed it this isn't unreasonable IMHO.

I'm currently leaning towards the second solution. Robert, Michael,
WDYT?
