Temat: [Dng] GDM switched to wayland by default

hi all,

this is interesting and Devuan could cover also a role here since wayland is
going to impact a lot of users with its lack of remote screen and of ACL
permission control.


At the very least, we may want to make sure that people is still free to choose
between wayland and X11, but hopefully this will be also something that Debian
wants.

local-display-factory: use wayland by default for greeter, fallback to X11
This commit flips the big red switch, now we use wayland by default on
the greeter and only fallback to X / legacy code paths in exceptional
situations.
