Bug Description
I removed LightDM on the 14th and then didn't reboot until after upgrading to Focal. The next reboot didn't launch a display manager at all, and we tracked this down to /etc/systemd/

Did you forget to make gdm the default DM?
sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3
If you did, this does not sound as a bug to me.
