Hi,

I'd like to propose some changes to the lubuntu-desktop package. This is 
primarily meant to the developers, but other users may be interested.

The point of Lubuntu & LXDE is to make a very lightweight desktop to end 
users. This proposal would 1) make many of the dependencies as 
recommends and 2) add lighter / better alternatives. This would in the 
end make the installation more flexible. Inspiration for this came from 
the xubuntu-desktop package.

The following recommendations are packages that aren't necessary for the 
overall usability of Lubuntu: on a normal installation, all packages 
marked as recommended are installed.

Package list (dep > rec):

abiword / libreoffice-writer
ace-of-penguins
audacious
chromium-browser / midori
evince / mupdf / xpdf
file-roller / xarchiver
gnome-disk-utility
gnumeric / libreoffice-calc
lxtask
mobile-broadband-provider-info
modemmanager
mtpaint
sylpheed
transmission
xchat
xscreensaver
