Public bug reported:

As recently discussed on the phone ML (https://lists.launchpad.net
/ubuntu-phone/msg08825.html) there is no easy way to disable the greeter
in a programmatic way. The only halfway automated way is an unlock
script in unity8-autopilot, but that package isn't installed by default
and apt-get install doesn't work by default. Also, it uses a complicated
way to unlock the phone using autopilot and emulating swipe gestures.

This is of course ok for testing unity8 itself, but for testing any
other app we just want to get the greeter away (1) robustly, (2) easily,
and (3) without having to install extra packages. E. g. the first-time
wizard can be disabled by placing a stamp file into ~/.config, the edges
intro can be disabled with a D-BUS call.

Thanks!
