Description:
Attached patch adds the following improvements to the LightDM package:

- switches from a git checkout to a PGP-signed release (same version)

- updates the now-dead website link to the current one

- fixes the build

The build failure is due to the gtk-doc:

I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/html/chunk.xsl
warning: failed to load external entity "http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/html/chunk.xsl"
compilation error: file /usr/share/gtk-doc/data/gtk-doc.xsl line 11 element import
xsl:import : unable to load http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/html/chunk.xsl
make[2]: *** [Makefile:727: html-build.stamp] Error 5

The solution (as done in  FS#63553  and elsewhere) was to disable gtk-doc for now.

The git tag is signed as well and can be verified with the change included in the attached diff.
I could not reproduce the build failure in a clean chroot using extra-x86_64-build. reproducible-builds.org also shows the package building without failure [1]

Using tarballs is not an improvement, it's just personal preference. And as loqs pointed out, the documentation builds just fine. Changed the website and added the git tag signature verification.
