Ok, great. However it is unclear to me if upstream will keep this
greeter in the long run.

The shell-based greeter also has its own problems, different in both
cause and effets. Indeed disable-user-list=true does not work in
Wheezy's version, it is simply ignored (but it works in experimental). I
have tried to backport the relevant commits from 3.8 to 3.4, but it
turned out to be non trivial, so I gave up. This is tracked in Debian
BTS as #685105.
