Ubuntu Budgie, like Xubuntu uses lightdm-gtk-greeter as its default greeter.

However, due to the recommendation of "debian-base" in debian/control, we show all the debian wallapers in that package. Very confusing for users.

Please can this be changed to a "Suggests:" instead.

Note - I originally asked this Q on Debian, but they declined saying its a downstream issue

I was going to attach a debdiff for the change, but the current source for lightdm-gtk-greeter zesty does not compile under zesty due to lightDM API changes. Was the package simply copied from Xenial? Which begs the question - how on earth does the greeter actually work under zesty if the API has changed!
