So it seems gdm is buggy there, the prerm sets the default to "lightdm"
rather the to "/usr/sbin/lightm", lightdm has a similar bug since its
script is copied from gdm...

Title:
boot hangs waiting for lightdm after purging gdm (wrong default-
display-manager)

Bug description:
I've installed Oneiric beta2 and at some point installed and purged
gdm. After that, boot will hang waiting for lightdm to start, which
never happens. This is because /etc/X11/default-display-manager ends
up saying "lightdm" whereas /etc/init/lightdm.conf accepts
"/usr/bin/lightdm" or "/usr/sbin/lightdm". The user sees the splash
screen messages "Waiting for up to 60 more seconds for network
configuration" and "Booting system without full network
configuration".
However, the fix is to edit the contents of /etc/X11/default-display-
manager to read "/usr/sbin/lightdm".
