[Bug 1669818] Re: Ubuntu Budgie shows debian wallpaper due to greeter recommendation / lightdm-gtk-greeter does not compile

[Sean Davis]

I'm in favor of getting the updated greeter into Zesty.  We'll do some
testing on the Xubuntu side and confirm.

Title:
  Ubuntu Budgie shows debian wallpaper due to greeter recommendation /
  lightdm-gtk-greeter does not compile

Status in budgie-artwork package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in lightdm-gtk-greeter package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Budgie, like Xubuntu uses lightdm-gtk-greeter as its default
  greeter.

  However, due to the recommendation of "debian-base" in debian/control,
  we show all the debian wallapers in that package.  Very confusing for
  users.

  Please can this be changed to a "Suggests:" instead?

  Note - I originally asked this Q on Debian, but they declined saying
  its a downstream issue

   - https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=850328

  I was going to attach a debdiff for the change, but the current source
  for lightdm-gtk-greeter zesty does not compile under zesty due to
  lightDM API changes.  Was the package simply copied from Xenial?
  Which begs the question - how on earth does the greeter actually work
  under zesty if the API has changed!
