If memory serves correctly when installing lightdm you must be sure to 
install lightdm-gtk-greeter first. Otherwise you'll end up with 
unity-greeter and a boat load of unwanted unity related packages.

Or, better than depending on my shoddy memory, always use the -s suffix 
to test what'll be installed, eg;

apt-get install lightdm -s
