Hi!

I am not subscribed, but please Cc.

Thank you for your packaging work for LXQt.

As alternative desktop, in case Plasma session doesn´t start/work okayish for 
a while, I´d like to use LXQt desktop since I bet its closest to what I like 
and it is based on Qt.

I find the following packages in Debian:

merkaba:~> apt-cache search lxqt | grep -v lib
lxqt-about - About screen for LXQt
lxqt-admin - Admin tools for LXQt
lxqt-admin-dbg - Admin tools for LXQt (debug)
lxqt-common - Common files for LXQt
lxqt-globalkeys - daemon used to register global keyboard shortcuts (appl.)
lxqt-notificationd - LXQt notification daemon
lxqt-notificationd-dbg - LXQt notification daemon (debug symbols)
lxqt-openssh-askpass - OpenSSH user/password GUI dialog for LXQt
lxqt-openssh-askpass-dbg - OpenSSH user/password GUI dialog for LXQt (debug 
symbols)
lxqt-policykit - LXQt authentication agent for PolicyKit
lxqt-policykit-dbg - LXQt authentication agent for PolicyKit (debug symbols)
lxqt-powermanagement - power management module for LXQt
lxqt-powermanagement-dbg - power management module for LXQt (debug symbols)
lxqt-qtplugin - LXQt system integration plugin for Qt
lxqt-qtplugin-dbg - LXQt system integration plugin for Qt (debug symbols)
zulusafe-cli - cli that manages encrypted volumes


None of it appears to be one of the usual meta packages I know from other 
desktop environments. Which package do I need to install to get a full LxQt 
session available in sddm?

I know LXQt was also affected from the G++ ABI transition. This was the 
transition where the Plasma desktop last broke down in inventive ways. But 
during other transitions or upgraded, LXQt may serve as a nice fallback 
desktop. :)

Thank you,
