Bug Description
TEST CASE:
1. install gdm and lightdm
2. Set gdm as default greeter
$ dpkg-reconfigure gdm
and select gdm
3. Remove gdm
$ apt-get remove --purge gdm
Result:
gdm prerm script failed with exit status 10, then debconf prompt for the default display manager
Expected
debconf prompt is shown _before_ removing gdm and gdm removal only fails if there is no other choice than gdm

The upgrade seems to ask what display manager you want to use but when choosing LightDM it asks again (in a loop) so I had to choose GDM.
