[Rik Mills <2114015@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Kubuntu should now be fully ready for this. In fact, on latest Questing
daily ISO we no longer install the Plasma X11 session by default. It can
be installed for users who want it via the package plasma-session-x11.

Rationale is that it is highly improbable that we can support the X11
session in 26.04 LTS (or now even), so Like Ubuntu desktop it is
probably better to rip off this sticking plaster in 25.10 and
concentrate on wayland with less distraction.

Bug description:
  There was an announcement [1] this week that Ubuntu Desktop 25.10 will
  no longer include the Xorg session. Ubuntu Desktop no longer needs
  xserver-xorg in the default install and is working on removing it
  there. The 'xorg' metapackage has a hard dependency on xserver-xorg.
  'xorg' is included in desktop-common.

  Therefore, we need 'xorg' to be removed from desktop-common and
  individually added to all the other Ubuntu desktop flavor seeds.

  I believe xorg installs unnecessary components and you might want to
  pick and choose pieces instead. For instance, I don't think most
  desktops need x11-apps or xcursor-themes.

  You will need xserver-xorg if you install a session that uses xorg. If
  you also include a Wayland session, you might want to split the Xorg
  session to a separate binary package like Ubuntu Desktop 25.04 did
  with ubuntu-session-xsession to allow people to try uninstalling that
  package to use only the Wayland session.
