Bug Description
After running the oem-config wizard the file /etc/sddm.conf is not updated.
Causing sddm to fail after a reboot since it tries to autologin as the user oem, but that user doesn't exist.
Removing the /etc/sddm.conf file and restarting sddm fixes the problem.

Too late for vivid now, Jonathan says we'll ignore OEM mode for vivid. Probably not a big loss, most OEMs would prefer LTSes anyway?

It's in Wily Alpha2 still present. Perhaps the fact that I am running a KVM vm has something to do with this bug?
Also I manually need to start the oem-prepare script.

Did a fresh Vivid install, and ran into the same issue. First I thought it might be related to bug #1384401, but removing the /etc/sddm.conf file fixed it.
/etc/sddm.conf is created by user-setup when oem is set up, but never removed from the system when it is prepared for the end-user. Marking as High; this is an important bug breaking OEM setups.
