Re: task-lxqt-desktop: lxqt installs plasma desktop
Hi Images Team,
Please consider explicitly including the sddm-theme-debian-elarun
package on any image where the lxqt package is included.
With debian-13.1.0-arm64-DVD-1.iso [1], selecting LXQt on the tasksel
dialog without a network mirror installs KDE along with it. Turns out
this bug was reported for task-lxqt-desktop for 12.9, quoted below:

task-lxqt-desktop depends on "sddm-theme-debian-elarun | sddm-theme" but
I only see sddm-theme-breeze and sddm-theme-debian-breeze in the DVD-1
package lists [2]. I guess the elarun theme isn't automatically included
because the breeze themes will definitely be included for KDE and
satisfy the sddm-theme dependency. And when LXQt tries to pull in sddm
with the only those themes available in the cdrom mirror and without a
network mirror, those pull in plasma-workspace that they depend on.
(Not sure if I should reassign to debian-cd specifically.)
