Bug#649454: lightdm: /etc/init/lightdm.conf breaks 'service' command

Package: lightdm
Version: 1.0.6-2
Severity: normal

Installing lightdm on a system using sysvinit instead of upstart
breaks use of 'service lightdm restart' and similar use of 'service'
to manage the lightdm daemon. This is due to the presense of the file
/etc/init/lightdm.conf even though upstart is not present.

# service lightdm stop
/usr/sbin/service: 124: exec: stop: not found

# service lightdm start
/usr/sbin/service: 124: exec: start: not found

Of course running the script directly works.

# /etc/init.d/lightdm restart
Stopping Light Display Manager: lightdm.
Starting Light Display Manager: lightdm.

I notice that none of the other graphical login display managers such
as xdm, gdm, gdm3, kdm include such a /etc/init/$PACKAGE.conf file.
