Comment 1 for bug 1551690

Currently on Ubuntu 17.04 dev things have changed a bit. There seem to be 3 packages mainly responsible as the entry point: lxde-core, lxde-common and openbox-lxde-session. lxde-common claims to have a set of configuration files for pcmanfm and lxpanel but these packages are only in its "Recommends" field which looks broken to me as lxde-common would not be needed if you also don't install pcmanfm and/or lxpanel. lxde-core claims to be a metapackage and depends amongst others on pcmanfm and lxpanel and recommends lxde-common. Maybe its pcmanfm and lxpanel dependencies should be removed and added to lxde-common and the lxde-common recommendation should get a dependency. This way installing only openbox-lxde-session should pull in all required dependencies for a common minimal LXDE environment.

But this is just a suggestion and maybe it can be enhanced a bit or this can be enhanced in a completely different way.
