Hello,

To reduce this confusion, maybe the latter version's package should be
named like "wechat-uos-qt" instead.
Sorry but this QT version of Wechat is so-called "universal" because it
is "universal" to multiple China state-backed Linux distros and multiple
China owned CPU architectures, no longer binded to UOS's own stack. It
is not only released onto UOS and not binded to UOS. It is just that UOS
jumps out to advertise it, not that they owns it. We "borrow" it from
the UOS deb library because its repo is more open and freely available
to "borrow" from, but it surely can be "borrowed" from another
state-backed distro's library.
The following is the APT search result of "wechat" on another
Debian-based Linux distro, Kylin Linux [a] Desktop, on Phytium ARM64
platform:

Note that Kylin Linux has multiple flavors: a feroda / CentOS based one
for server, and another Debian / Ubuntu based one for Desktop.
Therefore, bearing name "uos" in its name is not right. Using its
advertised name "WeChat (Universal)" is more appropriate and ensures a
unified desktop experience.
Also, I don't think "-qt" is an appropriate name. Most of the packages
in Arch repo that has "-qt" in their names is only the GUI part of the
program that depends on the base component, and they depend on the
corresponding base component to work [b]. They can be considered as the
"qt" split packages from a bigger full package. WeChat (Universal) on
the other hand, is a whole package, that has no distinction between its
base component and the GUI part. It works as a whole with multiple
components, and the QT GUI part is only one part of the program that
could not be splitted out.
