Public bug reported: I've seen that the KDE Connect package on both Debian [1] and Ubuntu [2] depends on 'plasma-workspace'. The KDE Connect project aims for users of any desktop to be able to use it, and I think that depending on Plasma might discourage users from other desktops from installing it.
As far as I know, there is no actual dependency from KDE Connect on Plasma, so it should be possible to compile and install kdeconnect without it. It is true that the GUI we ship with the kdeconnect package is a plasmoid, but the user is free to install another frontend (or use the command line tool) and just not use the plasmoid. Do you think this dependency could be removed from kdeconnect? Thanks!
