gdm3 package version is 3.26.1-3ubuntu2

Problem details:
----------------
The file /etc/gdm3/greeter.dconf-defaults got this option commented by default:

# disable-user-list=true

I've used this option with Ubuntu 17.04 (GNOME session) in order to not show any profile in greeter, as a security measure.

But with Ubuntu 17.10, if you uncomment that line Ubuntu will not boot (really will not start gdm3, so no greeter is shown).

How to reproduce the problem:
- Fresh install Ubuntu 17.10 desktop (for instance, in a virtual machine).
- Uncomment the line "# disable-user-list=true" in file "/etc/gdm3/greeter.dconf-defaults".
- Reboot...
