Hi Andriy, thanks for the prompt response. Andriy Grytsenko wrote:

Well, the dependencies in Jessie are set up so that task-lxde-desktop pulls in lxde; lxde pulls in lxde-core; and lxde-core pulls in lxde-common; lxde-common contains the xsession file. This makes it convenient for users: - if they want a full LXDE desktop with all the standard Debian applications, they just install task-lxde-desktop - if they want a "standard" LXDE desktop, they just install lxde - if they want a minimal LXDE desktop, they install lxde-core I think that's the way things should work in Stretch, too. I'm not sure what fix you have in mind, but I'm guessing that you're thinking about renaming lxde-common. If you require users to install that package in addition to one of the metapackages, you'll make LXDE more work to install compared to how things are in Jessie. warm regards, mike
