[Bug 1553592] [NEW] 16.04 casper 15_autologin file contains obsolete lightdm configuration

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper-bottom/15autologin

the lightdm section of the file contains a lightdm configuration that is
incorrect for 15.10 and later

for example it writes out /root/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

according to the lightdm wiki this should be
/root/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/xyz.conf

Additionally using [SeatDefaults] is wrong.  Again according the wiki
[SeatDefaults] is obsolete and should be [Seat:*]

Think this is probably why manual live CD creators and those who use
Pinguy ISO Builder cannot create a lightdm autologin live CD
