If you want to avoid pulling in lightdm-gtk-greeter, and still want to give full freedom to the users (and stating your preferred choices), you could try the following:In the Depends section: - lightdm | gdm3 | x-display-manager, + slick-greeter | lightdm | gdm3 | x-display-manager,Slick-greeter itself depends on lightdm, and since it is mentioned first, it will be used by default.If you don't want/need to show your preference for lightdm or alternatively gdm3, you can even simplify the line to- lightdm | gdm3 | x-display-manager, + slick-greeter | x-display-manager,With a quick test on a freshly bootstrapped Debian sid system (and with locally modified cinnamon-core packages) I've verified that the only difference (when only cinnamon-core is installed additionally) is the disappearance of lightdm-gtk-greeter. So I don't see additionally packages, but it might be different for Ubuntu.With kind regards, Roland Clobus
Thanks for the tests and the information, I thinked that with alternative on lightdm dep. of lightdm-gtk-greeter add slick-greeter to recommends, when they are enabled is enough but as you wrote still lightdm-gtk-greeter so I must fix.
If you noticed other problems outside of this one or have other suggestions to improve the metapackages they are welcome
