Too much cleanup work needed, not for me, sorry...
However, I tried to revise the 'desktop-lxde' task (see below).

Frankly saying,
I don't have an intention to maintain this package, sorry again.

Maybe some automated tool should be developed,
to query the Debian PTS for package availability?..

Unfortunately, not yet:
my patch is only a small part of of a huge cleanup needed here...
