Bug Description

The default-session.txt settings are applied too early, i.e. in ubuntu-defaults-el-gr.postinst, and they don't have any effect at all because lightdm-set-defaults isn't yet available.
They should probably be applied when the chroot hook script is run and not from the postinst.

# cat desktop/default-session.txt
gnome-fallback

# cat recommends.txt
gnome-session-fallback

# ubuntu-defaults-image --package ubuntu-defaults-el-gr_0.1_all.deb --components main,restricted,universe --ppa ts.sch.gr/ppa
...
[output line 2877] Setting up ubuntu-defaults-el-gr (0.1) ...
...
[output line 5896] Setting up lightdm (1.2.1-0ubuntu1.1) ...
...

# cat chroot/etc/gdm/custom.conf
[daemon]
DefaultSession=gnome-fallback

# cat chroot/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[SeatDefaults]
greeter-session=unity-greeter

The above file is wrong, it should also contain
user-session=gnome-fallback
