[Bug 1630347] Re: the lightdm-theme package is practically empty

[Ross Gammon]

As the config file previously in the us-lightdm-theme source package is
moved to us-default-settings, and us-default-settings is seeded for
Ubuntu Studio, Ubuntu Studio users will not notice anything after us-
lightdm-theme is removed during the apt-get dist-upgrade.

However, if us-lightdm-theme was manually installed by a user, or
another package depended on it (which is not the case here - as it is
only the us-meta packages that depend on it), then we would need a dummy
us-lightdm-theme package (included in the us-default-settings source
package) to force the user over to the new us-default-settings source
package.

It is very unlikely that anyone would manually install the ubuntustudio-
lightdm-theme package on it's own. And in this case, they could just
keep using the us-lightdm-theme package as long as they liked (as apt-
get dist-upgrade will not ask for it's removal). Therefore, I think the
transitional package is a little over the top.

But expect a new diff including a dummy package uploaded here later
today.

Title:
  the lightdm-theme package is practically empty

Status in ubuntustudio-default-settings package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in ubuntustudio-lightdm-theme package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in ubuntustudio-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The ubuntustudio-lightdm-theme package is now nearly empty, with only
  a configuration file remaining. We should move this config file to
  ubuntustudio-default-settings (which is the natural home for such
  configuration), and remove the lightdm-theme package.

  Krytarik prepared a transition to achieve this, but it was a little
  close to the release date for Yakkety. I reverted this, so that only
  the change to the latest Numix Blue theme was uploaded instead. This
  bug is to remind us to do the transition & removal after Yakkety is
  released.

  Remember to take care to update the seeds and metapackages as well as
  part of the transition.
