--- Comment #2 from Kevin Kofler <kevin at tigcc.ticalc.org> ---
(As also noted by Ralf, but with more details, thus he was quicker:)

Wouldn't liblxqt make more sense as a package name in this case? I know we
often use the *-libs naming convention in Fedora, but we use that for
subpackages, where there is a main package called lxqt, and lxqt-libs is a
subpackage of that SRPM with one or more libraries. But here, we have a
separate upstream tarball called liblxqt, so I don't see a good reason to name
the package differently. There are many lib* packages in Fedora, corresponding
to upstream lib* tarballs. We just don't like ADDING a prepended "lib" to
libraries that do not have it in the upstream name (e.g. libqt) or using
"%package -n libfoo" for subpackages.
