Hey Michael, do you have any comment on that since you added the feature? I'm trying to think how we could handle the $PATH thing better, options I can think about are not optimal though:
- make gdm and lightdm conflict
- dpkg-divert gdmflexiserver in lightdm by a wrapper which has a "if gdm is running run that binary, if lightdm is running that one" logic
- ship the said wrapper in a package common to both gdm and lightdm and have those to depends on it

but ideally GNOME would move away from calling a binary and use a dbus service of some sort
