Yes, altogether that would be a logical conclusion, sadly but true.
Seems some maintainers can actually be worse than infamous 'nobody'.

How to deal with that on the upgrade to mga2 in packaging terms,
display a message to E17 users to the extent of:

    please use another window manager / desktop environment ... "


And please: this is meant as a serious question following the
above conclusion ...
