Ok, but then I would suggest adding (lxde) in brackets as this
connection is IMHO not clear.

I'm not convinced here. What are the rules for using &debian; vs.
Debian? I think the content must be "right", even if a few more
characters are used (and please count only those printed, if at all,
not the nice acronym part).

No, APT is the package name. Please see apt(8) (the first word in
DESCRIPTION).

No, at least the APT issue is open, and the &debian; one is IMHO open
as well.
