Looking into that issue, I failed to reproduce it. So I started with
stretch and did both dist-upgrades up to bullseye, and still lightdm
starts up as expected.
This is strange since in postinst, /var/lib/lightdm/ is created if
missing, and permissions are set as needed by lightdm. I'd expect
breakage only in conditions you would have noticed anyway - like
unfinished installation, or full disk.
In case you still have the files around (or still can reproduce the
problem), the content of /var/log/lightdm/ should contain more bits
what's going wrong. Out of curiosity, did you purge packages no longer
needed after the upgrade (as listed by deborphan)?
