Package: lxqt-core
Version: 33.0
Severity: wishlist

Hi.

Is the hard dependency on qterminal really necessary? Running apt
rdepends for it only lists this metapackage, and nm-tray which isn't
required. And lxqt itself, so users who install this, presumably because
they're going all lxqt or want all of it, would pull it already, I just
don't see what it adds for the core package. It's clear there are
components that expect some terminal emulator around, pcmanfm-qt in
particular, but not strictly qterminal. I guess many people prefer
another terminal, so allowing for x-terminal-emulator as an alternative
would help some, hurt none. qterminal provides that already, but I'm
sure you'd still want to mention it explicitly. Just consider that it
pulls in a bunch of other packages some may never use, while removing
the metapackage and hand-picking feels not worth it.

Suggest: depend on qterminal | x-terminal-emulator


Regards,
Oliver
