Subject: Add an autopkgtest.
X-Git-Url: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~sgtatham/git?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0aaca7b51da2d514c27b11278a40738450c8fae0;p=xsession-traditional.git

Add an autopkgtest.

This sets up a test user, configures lightdm to auto-login as that
user, configures the user to use xsession-traditional as its preferred
login session type, and writes a .xsession that creates an "it worked"
indicator file. So it can run without any interactive intervention and
prove that the user's .xsession really was run.
