No, I don't think this would be a good solution. If you can't install
libgdm1, you won't be able to install gdm3 and eventually not the
gnome meta-package if I remember correctly.

This would be very annoying for enterprise setups like ours who want
to use lightdm but also provide a fully-featured GNOME environment
for users to choose at login along with KDE, MATE, XFCE and so on.
