I would like AccountsService to be added under Depends. So that all
features were working fine out of the box for light-gtk-greeter.
This should be ok for gnome, unity and xfce4. Because it's build for it.
For KDE user, most of them use KDM and in case they use lightdm, they
would use lightdm-kde-greeter
So "AccountsService" should be added only as a Depends of the package :
"lightdm-gtk-greeter"

Eh, thanks for the precision.
I guess work from both Debian maintainer and upstream.
Do you know if they are aware of the patch by the way?

As Emmanuel tested the whole thing once more, it seems I am mistaken.
One more closer look, it seems that LightDM has changed to be more
generic and they made the BackgroundFile code (and also the keyboard
layout AccountsService attribute) usable on non-Ubuntu distros, as well:
See
https://github.com/canonical/lightdm/commit/6015bce25f241e7580c03594d846769f8236232f
So, the solution probably indeed is to add AccountsService under
Depends: or Recommends: of lightdm and done with it.
Second part is with the desktop envs then, they need to write the
background image file name into the above BackgroundFile attribute in
AccountsService, but that's not on us. Obviously, Xfce4 has that
feature (as Emmanuel's test worked under Xfce4).
