Bug Description

Please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-datetime/+bug/1754872/comments/25 for some background on this bug report.

I'd like to request that the lightdm greeter Recommends...
unity-greeter | lightdm-greeter (virtual package) | lightdm-kde-greeter

be moved to Suggests. It seems the apt installation order causes unity-greeter (and other unity components) to be installed along with lightdm-gtk-greeter when installing the xubuntu-desktop task.

Since each of the lightdm greeters should depend on lightdm, I think this change helps make greeter installation more explicit and should prevent the installation of multiple greeters when only one is needed or requested.
