Package: lxqt and lxqt-core 
Version: 1.3.0Debian version: trixie and sid

LXQt uses some big dependencies instead of the native ones. It is supposed to 
be a lightweight desktop environment. Then, I recommend some simple changes to 
the recommended dependencies.

1)Currently, the package lxqt-core has a recommended dependency to choose 
between 3 archivers apps. The default choice is xarchiver instead of 
lxqt-archiver. lxqt-archiver isn't listed there, but it is the standard 
archiver for lxqt. It should be the default choice.
This problem has been fixed in the package lxqt, but it hasn't in lxqt-core.

2)The package lxqt has as dependency to choose a window manager. The default 
choice is xfwm4. I think openbox should be the default choice because it was 
the default WM in LXDE, which is its predecessor. LXQT doesn't have a default 
WM, but Openbox is a popular choice. With obconf-qt, the integration of LXQT 
with the WM is better.

I don't know if apt has conditional dependency chooser. The package openbox 
chooses between obconf or obconf-qt. The default choice is the former, but the 
latter is better for lxqt. If obconf-qt becomes the default WM dependency, 
openbox will be installed as dependency. 

3)I noticed qpdfview is missing in trixie (it says "Package not available"), 
but it is present in sid.
