I am not working with master, I am working with what has been released,
ie the tarballs on download.lxqt.org or whatever the url was. This still
requires lxqt-common, and as I have no idea about the release cycle of
LXQT I would prefer to keep it (and to find a workaround for it not building).

Sure, but I'm working on LXQT. Something not existing doesn't mean no one
is using it as a base to include packages depending on this… this is my way
to say: hey. I need this for stuff that seeks its way into Guix master for
another Desktop ;)

Okay, I did not know about the original issue. I will try, I'll report back.
