Bug Description
I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 dev and on my laptop and my desktop PC I have the same version of lxdm installed ( 0.5.3-1 ). On executing "dpkg -S /etc/init/
I have noticed this discrepancy as I have today purged for a test lxdm on my desktop PC and reinstalled it later. On rebooting my PC lxdm hasn't started automatically anymore (manually executing "/etc/init.d/lxdm" does solve this issue but I'm not sure if this is another bug (I'm still using upstart)).
I have figured out something new: On my laptop I have executed "apt-get install lxdm --reinstall" to update the lxdm package. But after executing "dpkg -S /etc/init/ lxdm.conf" again I got again a match for lxdm on this path. On checking the package with "apt-get download lxdm" the file doesn't exist there. This means dpkg has not correctly updated the package by cleaning up this obsolete configuration file. Now I do even think that this issue is not about lxdm but maybe dpkg is just causing migration issues.
