Bug#1004091: Starts user services
Package: lightdm
Version: 1.26.0-8
Severity: normal
The user which is running lightdm starts all "user" services which are
enabled by default, which might include pipewire (and I guess
pulseaudio), gnupg.. synchthing.
I find this behavior undersiderable. pipewire/pulseaudio could probably
by used by the theme to provide audio in the session, but most other
services only make sense for a real user.
It seems like lightdm might befinit from a strictly defined list of
services instead of starting a full-fledged user session that results in
this behavior.
