The reason for all of them is simple: a modern webkit-based browser.
The particular justification for each is:
- lxqt: Qupzilla is officially deprecated in favour of Falkon;
- kde4: Rekonq simply doesn't cut the mustard;
- kde5: Firefox is fine but there's more suitable one.
This flavour has turned into a distribution proper quite some
time ago (thanks jinn@), and its role of pretty minimalistic
proving grounds for things like minimalistic EFI boot path
is now neglectible.
So let's add a proper boot manager there too. It might be better
to fit it into distro/.regular-sysv-gtk or even up the dependency
tree but I'm not focused enough to do it right now.

...into cinnamon and lxde flavours; it got dropped out from
regular builds but this file controls p8-based starterkits
specifically!
PS: looks like unikey can get configured but either fails
to actually work or I forgot how to use it already...
It's needed for both qemu-guest-agent and open-vm-tools, sigh.
Will only impact installed size but quite noticeably: installing these
into an overcleaned system as of previous commit and today's p8
takes 42 Mb more.
The problem being worked around by this is:
anything in the lists that Requires: webclient
results in rekonq being pulled into the image
(after mate-default requires firefox no more).
The proper fix is to force *_PACKAGES, *_LISTS
and *_REGEXP to be processed in a _single_
transaction for each destination so that
early mis-expansion of virtual packages
doesn't occur when _installing_ those.
This commit should be reverted then.

This will solve the sound problems when using regulars:
- The sound when the computer is restarted is set to 0
- Some applications do not know how to work directly with ALSA,
apulse allows you to solve this problem partially.
Using feature +pulse will override use of +alsa feature.
This is an experiment that should finally land in install2
but SYSTEM_PACKAGES is not enough, mkfs.btrfs doesn't land
in the installer somehow.

mixin/e2k-desktop was asking for separation from its day zero,
and the rest just came in naturally (the temporary patch to
add lxqt and mate looked awfully with all the duplication in).
There was a semi-awful lot of long-abandoned targets
spotted while factoring out mixins; let's just drop
these for good, and if anyone needs some of those
drop me a commit.
These have appeared in desktop.mk, regular.mk, vm.mk
over time, and there are two problems around.
The minor one is that mixins have been introduced as
handy reusable bits close in context of their use;
this practically means that they fall under the same
class restrictions as their parent targets, that is
a mixin coming from regular.mk will only be available
for "distro" IMAGE_CLASS, and so on.
The major one is probably the worst design flaw in m-p:
building images from ground up, where ground is a valid
standalone buildable target as well.
Life has shown that we rather want to build up images
the other way around, choosing what essentials go in first
and then fitting the fine details along with the packaging.
The first sign of this difference appeared with ARMv7 Simply:
we had a well-built configuration aiming for x86 ISO, still
we needed roughly the same app/environment configuration
put into armh disk image.
Those platforms were different enough that we didn't actually
plan shipping *lots* of distributions but the problem was clear,
and it was much alike to the one that sprang m-p to life in the
first place (when we had a range of "common" distros and needed
to create and maintain a set of "school" ones that mostly had
similar or even identical difference to their respective base
ones -- and we couldn't do something like conf.d/p8.mk does now).
So mixins are going to become the softer way to turn m-p's
target configuration chain upside down to considerable extent:
build up what you're going to mix into the various deliverables,
and make it as portable across image classes, hardware platforms,
repository branches as feasible so that total maintenance effort
needed goes down or at least doesn't spike too bad.
And here's the first strike at that.
It's strange but ve/builder and distro/live-builder
along with distro/regular-builder are all mostly
"independent", that is duplicating functionality
without any reasonable gain; spotted finally.
Let's build an Xfce based image, got anything needed (well, almost:
xorg-drv-libinput isn't there and no one is crying over that here).
And let's change "e2k" suffix to be prefix while at that.
