I'm still not sure how the "variants" of orange actually work. So far 
I've only packaged the spectroscopy plugin, but nothing specifically 
quasar. Even the Quasar website is kind of blurry as to whether Quasar 
is more than just Orange+a set of plugins. I'm looking into it. If 
there's nothing specific, maybe the way forward would simply be to 
create a quasar metapackage that would depend on orange3 + the 
spectroscopy plugin?

[some time passes]

Actually, installing quasar via pip results in a very very thin layer of 
quasar-ness on top of orange: 204 lines of Python, essentially a new 
splash screen, a new app name and an update checker. Running quasar and 
orange3 (as installed from pip) seems quite identical apart from the 
window title bars.

I just added the launcher and icons for orange3 in version 3.35.0+ds1-4.
