Bug Description
Hi,
Currently, the lightdm-gtk-greeter binary package ships /etc/lightdm/
I tested quickly, and the gtk greeter is still able to start, and work without this config file. So could you please stop shipping it (*and handle gracefully its removal in maintainer scripts* -- sorry for the highlight, but you didn't do that for /etc/lightdm/
This would allow derivatives to ship their own config file to theme the greeter (currently, I can't theme it for Xubuntu without either doing some not-so-great things with dpkg-divert, or worse, sed, or forking the greeter just to change its settings...).
Thanks.

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here.
This is important to all flavours outside of Unity. Getting this bug fixed means Xubuntu will be able to use a custom wallpaper and theme.
Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
