Bug#832351: init-system-helpers: purging gdm3/lightdm/sddm/xdm leaves dangling /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service symlink

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: init-system-helpers
Version: 1.22
Severity: important
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org

Hi,

during tests with piuparts I noticed the same behavior in 4 packages
providing a display-manager service: a dangling symlink is left after
purge. Some have individual bugs filed (lightdm: #775385, gdm3:
#771085), but this is more likely a bug somewhere in the helpers being
used. Notice, that after purge no other package providing a
display-manager service was installed any more.
