Bug Description
I'm using Ubuntu 15.04 dev with lxsession 0.5.1-1ubuntu1 and currently lxclipboard is bundled together with lxsession which makes it a hard dependency. Probably the main reason to use an extra clipboard manager was because closing an application under X caused its internal clipboard content to vanish. But I haven't seen this behavior anymore the last few years (maybe it got completely fixed in X?). If this issue is really fixed the main feature of a clipboard manager is not needed anymore so I think a clipboard manager should also not be a dependency anymore (maybe a Recommends or even lower). But to change this lxclipboard must be put from lxsession into its own package.

I'm noticing now that after disabling lxclipboard the clipboard gets lost after an application closes (was lxsession previously compiled with built-in clipboard support?). But maybe lxclipboard can still get into its own package but it should be after all then maybe a dependency of lxsession.
