Isn't this a countersense? Why not setting it true here by default and
leave from 01_debian.conf?

So, I tried setting it to true on 01_debian.conf:

    lightdm --show-config
    ~
    [sudo] password for alex: 
       [SeatDefaults]
    A  greeter-session=lightdm-greeter
    A  greeter-hide-users=true
    A  session-wrapper=/etc/X11/Xsession
    
       [LightDM]
    B  greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter
    B  greeter-hide-users=false
    B  greeter-allow-guest=false
    
    Sources:
    A  /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/01_debian.conf
    B  /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
    
It show correct order but on boot it ask for username...

Suggestions?

Thanks
