Although I am still using sysvinit I have both display managers installed
in this sid box and to my surprise,
/etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service
symlink is not present here, although
/lib/systemd/system/lightdm.service
/lib/systemd/system/lxdm.service
/lib/systemd/system/gdm3.service
are available.
Norbert, what happens at your box? If the symlink is present, where does
it point to?
Does a bug report about this already exists? Just to send follow-ups
there rather than to debian-devel.
