Well, we don't even have tarballs at the moment.
I'll try to update the guide for building lxde-qt as soon as possible.
I think we can still use lxdm for gtk version and use
razor-lightdm-greeter for the qt version.
AFAIK currently there is no plan to develop qt version of lxdm.
If razor lightdm greeter works well, there is no point in creating a
competing implementation that does exactly the same thing.
Besides, we have yet another lightweight display manager available but
I forgot its name. So for people who don't use lightdm, it's an
option.

For packaging, I think group or meta-package should be used. So users
can install all components at once but developers can still maintain
them separately.

Thanks
