Hi Matt,
Thanks for that. I've updated the stable branch with that change and
removed these and other options from the unstable branch.

Title:
manpage & --help refer to non-existant --no-root option
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
The manpage for lightdm refers to an option, --no-root, which I
believe was replaced with --test-mode. Check out the entry for
--passwd-file below:
mfisch@caprica:~$ man lightdm
...
--test-mode
Run as unprivileged user, skipping things that require root
access
--passwd-file=FILE
Use the given password file for authentication (for testing,
requires --no-root)
mfisch@caprica:~$ lightdm --no-root
Unknown option --no-root
Run 'lightdm --help' to see a full list of available command line options.
mfisch@caprica:~/lightdm/lightdm-1.0.6$ lightdm --help
...
--test-mode Run as unprivileged user, skipping
things that require root access
--passwd-file=FILE Use the given password file for
authentication (for testing, requires --no-root)
