Bug Description

Installing unity8-greeter, from the split greeter silo, on an unity8-mir desktop configuration leads to a non working lightdm

* installing unity8-greeter leads to an empty screen with a cursor (looking like a Mir one), which runs for some seconds and do what looks like a respawn

-> editing the unity8-greeter-wrapper to set the qpa to mirclient corrected the respawn issue but giving an empty screen still

* install ubuntu-touch-session gives a working greeter but unlocking doesn't start the session

* GreeterShell.qml has an issue and does unlock only in when autologin is enabled, editing that makes unlock dismiss the greeter

but the session still doesn't start, unlocking the greeter gives a screen looking like the phone one ... that needs extra debugging

This bug was fixed in the package unity8 - 8.12+16.10.20160711-0ubuntu1

---------------
unity8 (8.12+16.10.20160711-0ubuntu1) yakkety; urgency=medium

  [ Josh Arenson ]
  * Add a SessionsModel to lightdm to support the greeter's session
    chooser
  * Add unity8-greeter package which contains a basic, but usable
    LightDM greeter. (LP: #1324602)

  [ Michael Terry ]
  * Make sure indicators and launcher hide when power button is pressed
    on greeter. (LP: #1595569)
  * Fix tablet greeter focus to be always-on, no longer hiding the OSK
    or forcing a mouse click to type a password. (LP: #1435923)
