I can confirm this. I'm raising the severity because the desktop UI is
de facto non usable due to this.

Thanks for this. After "apt install"-ing the above packages the issue
was fixed for me too. For what is worth, the packages that were
*actually* missing on my system prior to the installation were just:

  qml-module-qtquick-controls2
  qml-module-qtquick-templates2

so I'd expect that adding either (if they depend on one another) or both
to the package dependencies would fix this issue.

Cheers
