As the config file previously in the us-lightdm-theme source package is moved to us-default-settings, and us-default-settings is seeded for Ubuntu Studio, Ubuntu Studio users will not notice anything after us- lightdm-theme is removed during the apt-get dist-upgrade.
However, if us-lightdm-theme was manually installed by a user, or another package depended on it (which is not the case here - as it is only the us-meta packages that depend on it), then we would need a dummy us-lightdm-theme package (included in the us-default-settings source package) to force the user over to the new us-default-settings source package. It is very unlikely that anyone would manually install the ubuntustudio- lightdm-theme package on it's own. And in this case, they could just keep using the us-lightdm-theme package as long as they liked (as apt- get dist-upgrade will not ask for it's removal). Therefore, I think the transitional package is a little over the top. But expect a new diff including a dummy package uploaded here later today. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Bugs, which is subscribed to ubuntustudio-meta in Ubuntu.

We should move this config file to ubuntustudio-default-settings (which is the natural home for such configuration), and remove the lightdm-theme package. Krytarik prepared a transition to achieve this, but it was a little close to the release date for Yakkety. I reverted this, so that only the change to the latest Numix Blue theme was uploaded instead. This bug is to remind us to do the transition & removal after Yakkety is released. Remember to take care to update the seeds and metapackages as well as part of the transition.
