Public bug reported:

In order to have more users testing LxQt, installation should be as
painless as possible. This, however, is not the case at the moment. As
soon as you try to install lxqt-common (a dependency of lxqt-metapackage
from ppa:lubuntu-dev/lubuntu-daily), lubuntu-default-settings is
removed, and as a consequence also lubuntu-core, lubuntu-default-
session, thereby leaving the user with an LXDE which does no longer
work.

The conflict is caused by the following files which are contained in
both packages:

/etc/xdg/lxqt
/etc/xdg/lxqt/lxqt.conf
/etc/xdg/lxqt/session.conf
/etc/xdg/lxqt/windowmanagers.conf

I think that this is a bug in lubuntu-default-settings because these
files are of no use there. With these few files,  lubuntu-default-
settings is still far away from a replacement for lxqt-common, which has
many more LxQt-specific files. The followings steps have to be done to
the lubuntu-default-settings package to remove the conflict:

- In debian/control, remove "Conflicts: lxqt-common"
- In debian/control, remove "Replaces: lxqt-common"
- In debian/lubuntu-default-settings.install, remove "etc/xdg/lxqt/"
- Remove the directory src/etc/xdg/lxqt

Package versions used: lubuntu-default-settings 0.42 (vivid), lxqt-
common 0.9.1.0.0+bzr90+201503312215~ubuntu15.04.1 (ppa:lubuntu-dev
/lubuntu-daily)
