Control: reopen -1
Control: severity -1 wishlist

Only a remark - it's not up to you to decide if a certain application is
worth as a dependency in a meta-package - if there are problems they
should be resolved upstream and they will sooner or later. Second: Even
if i would change the dependency to a suggest (what i'm not willing to
do) - it would change nothing for stable. So there are three possible
outcomes - i leave it like it is - no big deal, lxqt will be removed if
someone remove qlipper, second - i demote it to recommends (i never will
do that, thats why lxqt-core exists) - third - i add some alternatives,
namely clipit and xfce4-clipman, so the user can choose between these
three managers.

And because i'm stubborn and qlipper is the natural choice for LXQt
qlipper will stay as the default alternative. If there are problems with
it they had to be solved upstream.

Cheers Alf
