[Bug 1653952] [NEW] KDE Connect should not depend on plasma-workspace

[Clive Johnston]

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!
