[Bug 1848101] Re: Sync lightdm-settings 1.2.5-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

[Jeremy Bicha]

Hi, are you requesting this change for 19.10 or for 20.04 LTS?

For 19.10, it is too late for this change. At a minimum, the Debian
package would need to include a LP bug in its changelog for a sync to be
acceptable. We are now in Final Freeze and any uploads to seeded
packages need to be formatted so that they can be handled as SRUs.

By seeded packages, I mean that the package is included in at least one
release image of Ubuntu or an official Ubuntu flavor. (That's a close
enough definition for here). If you install ubuntu-dev-tools you can run
the seeded-in-ubuntu command.

$ seeded-in-ubuntu lightdm-settings
lightdm-settings (from lightdm-settings) is seeded in:
  ubuntu-budgie: daily-live
  ubuntu-mate: daily-live

It might be a good idea to see if the Ubuntu Budgie & MATE teams have an
opinion on this update for 19.10 if you think it's needed there.

And there isn't anything in this bug report that says why this new
update is needed for 19.10.

Some links for further reading:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EoanErmine/ReleaseSchedule
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates

On the other hand, if you were just wanting this to be done when the
next release cycle opens, the rest of what I said doesn't really apply
here and it will probably be fine for someone to sync it.
