Package: kwin-common
Version: 4:6.5.4-2
Dear Maintainer,
please consider dropping the "Recommends" from kwin-common on plasma-desktop.
AFAICT the dependency/recommends chain is:
plasma-mobile depends on plasma-workspace,
plasma-workspace depends on kwin-common,
kwin-common recommends plasma-desktop
Side effect of this, on a plasma-mobile system, the "desktop" plasma-welcome is
installed and shown on first boot, in addition to the initial start wizard
inside
plasma-mobile itself. This would be confusing to mobile users, as plasma-welcome
shows elements specific to plasma-desktop, e.g. a screenshot with the system
tray,
whose UI is different on mobile.
IMO the dependency chain mentioned above should be cut between kwin-common,
that is
general component using by different Plasma environments, and plasma-desktop.
FTR, this issue was exposed because Mobian recently enabled "Recommends" on
official
images, that is btw default Debian policy.
Kind regards
Marco
