Wow, a dedicated channel. Noted with thanks.
I was stuck with simple-cdd-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org and apparently
that list was gone.

I was trying to enable SDDM+LXQt minimal using the simple-cdd's
packages profile. Later I got to know what simple-cdd packs everything
listed in .packages into base system install phase that caused the
SDDM+LXQt malfunctioning. Managed to workaround but it's hackish.
Thanks for the mailing list. Closing this thread.
