Bug Description

I'm not sure if this is actually a bug, but here goes.

Unity-greeter and the other greeter packages only recommends lightdm. This means that you can install a greeter, such as lightdm-gtk-greete, thinking that you now got lightdm installed and then reboot to find that it's not.

Is there any situation in which a user or or sysadmin would want to have unity-greeter installed but not lightdm. Does unity-greeter "work" without lightdm?

URL to the package in vivid, unity-greeter only recommends lightdm, does not depend on it: http://packages.ubuntu.com/vivid/unity-greeter
