I diagnosed this as a bug in lxdm's interaction with
display-manager.service arbitration (basically, lxdm's postinst was
trampling over part of the mechanism for running the single selected
*dm). Sjoerd agreed and reassigned it to lxdm.

This is not a jessie blocker, because lxdm was not in jessie at freeze
time, so it will presumably never get there.
