Dear Ubuntu Teams,

I am both the member of UbuntuKylin and the author of qt5-ukui-
platformtheme. I have a plea that please let the qt5-ukui-paltformtheme
packaged into focal.

Even if I know for sure that this might cause a lot of troubles for
packing a newly package after Featrue Freeze, there are more sufficient
and urgent reasons that prompted me to initiate this request again.

Firstly, qt5-ukui-paltformtheme is not a single application but a basic 
environment of UKUI. It 
almost effects all qt's applications in UKUI Desktop Environment. Insteadly if 
there is no a platformtheme, some qt's application such as Peony (UKUI's File 
Manager) will not work in correct because there is not a "driver" of theme to 
indicate them how to display themselves.

Secondly, as a lts release of UbuntuKylin, I do not hope that users
getting an iso and start an experience many with obvious bugs. In fact
the most of them is leaded by lacking of this package. I have try my
best to consider how to fix these bugs in UKUI Desktop Environment but I
still not find a way to resolve them, except letting qt5-ukui-
platformtheme intergated into UKUI.

If someone try a daily build iso of UbuntuKylin, he or she will find
that how serious the problem it is. For now we have provided a ppa[0]
for resolving those bugs. qt5-ukui-platformtheme is also can be
installed with the ppa. If we do nothing now, these bugs might still
exist and difficult to maintian because of the lack of basic
environment.

I must appreciate everyone here for the greate contributions. As an
author of open source projects, I can only do very limited things for
this case. So I hope that you consider my request again, and I will do
my best to provide some strength.

Sincerely,
Yue Lan
