Package: lxde
Version: 10
Followup-For: Bug #960111

Dear Maintainer,

Attached is a screenshot of the first thing a new lxde user is presented with
when logging in after the first boot of their newly installed Debian system (as
produced by yesterday's daily d-i images for "bullseye").

As you can see, it tells them that they're going to be getting Diodon instead of
clipit.

That being the case, it seems a little odd to still be Recomending clipit.

Should it not instead be at least something like: diodon | clipit (or whatever
would ensure that new users don't need to be bothered with this warning)?

Of course, upgrades probably still need a warning of some sort (is this
mentioned in the Release Notes for bullseye yet?)

Cheers, Phil.
