Bug#773293: kde-plasma-desktop: Can't install kde-plasma-desktop non-interactively due to kdm configuration dialog (debianbug: message 3 of 10)
The problem is that lightdm is already present on a basic Ubuntu 14.04
Server installation.
However, that said, when I test with the latest packages I no longer
see the issue in question.
Please close this bug and sorry for the noise.
