This bug was fixed in the package nvidia-prime - 0.4.2~ubuntu13.10.1
---------------
nvidia-prime (0.4.2~ubuntu13.10.1) saucy-proposed; urgency=low
* debian/preinst.in:
- Remove leftover in the test condition. This was
causing the lightdm.conf file to be rewritten
every time. This is a serious problem on the
different Ubuntu flavours (LP: #1224098).
* debian/postinst.in:
- Apparently the printf command treats string values
with leading zeros as octal. Work around this by
removing any leading zeros (LP: #1219650).

Bug description:
SRU request:
[Impact]
* As a result of this bug, the lightdm configuration file will always
been overwritten. This is not desirabled or expected and causes
serious problems on any *buntu system other than Ubuntu.
[Test Case]
* Enable the precise-proposed or the saucy-proposed repository and
install nvidia-prime (0.4.2~hybrid0.0.1 in precise or 0.4.2~hybrid0.1
in saucy).
* If the package doesn't overwrite the lightdm greeter in the
lightdm.conf file, then the fix is correct.
[Regression Potential]
* The regression potential here should be zero, as we only replace
two conditions ( "test -f" and "test ! -s") that can never be true at
the same time, with the "test -s" condition which does exactly what we
need - it checks that the file exists and has a size greater than zero
- and reuse the existing file if this condition is satisfied.
----
I have done a fresh install of saucy, before the installation of
nvidia-prime lightdm-gtk-greeter was set in lightdm.conf. During the
installation of nvidia-prime the greeter ist changed to unity-greeter
which causes a crash and no display after a reboot. When changing the
greeter back to lightdm-gtk-greeter everything works fine.
