Hmm, well.

$ cd /tmp
$ apt-get download lightdm
$ ls, man dpkg, ...
$ dpkg -x lightdm_1.10.3-3_amd64.deb ldm
$ gzip -dc ldm/usr/share/man/man1/lightdm.1.gz | nroff -man | less

Turns out there is a whole new section in the man page since wheezy!

       dm-tool(1)

That is the only addition.

$ man dm-tool
No manual entry for dm-tool

Yes, I could do a bunch of crap to try to figure out which package
contains that manual page, extract it, etc.  But it doesn't seem like
a useful investment of time, as I would not expect it to describe how
a DM works, or what happens after it has accepted and verified a password.
