Description:

Apologies if this is incorrect, but I think this package should have a dependency (or at least optionally depend) on xdg-desktop-portal.

In order for applications to use the xdg portal API, the dbus service org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop must be running. This is provided by the xdg-desktop-portal, so xdg-desktop-portal-kde will not work without it being present/running on the system.

At the moment, xdg-desktop-portal has a dependency on xdg-desktop-portal-impl, which is provided by xdg-desktop-portal-kde (or others), so a dependency cycle would be created. But to me the current situation seems backwards - this package can be installed without the service it needs being present on the system.
This task depends upon
