[Debian-on-mobile-maintainers] Bug#1128020: Bug#1128020: Phoc shouldn't recommend Phosh

[Marco Mattiolo]

Hi Guido,
you're right, only the shell package is installed, then the size overhead is
minimal.

I tend to disagree on something like translations being needed: is there a relevant
usecase in the user interacting with a localized drop-down menu in phrog? I mean,
the main usecase should be for the user to do their things within the shell after
logging in. But this is not my field, maybe in Phrog/Phosh such usecase exists...

I've tried logging into the Phosh session: only Plasma apps are listed, a mix of GTK and
Qt (breeze?) icons are shown. I was also able to crash the shell and be brought back to
phrog: I guess this is not the Phosh shell's experience that should be provided to users,
even if they flashed the "plasma-mobile" image and tapped "Session: Phosh" for the sake
of curiosity. IMO removing session scripts is a good compromise.

PS: about the compositor depending on the shell thing, I still think users should install
the shell package (even better, the metapackage) and not install the lower-level dependencies
themselves. FTR I've just reported a similar issue on the Plasma side (#1128023)...

Kind regards
Marco
