Dear maintainer(s),

I noticed that package lomiri-indicator-transfer recommends
indicator-applet, which is currently not available in unstable.

The indicator-applet package was removed in 2016:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/indicator-applet

Removing indicator-applet would leave, in that Recommends group, only
indicator-renderer, which is a virtual page. I think that
indicator-applet should be replaced with a package provided by
indicator-renderer to Recommend a concrete package and then the
indicator-renderer virtual package. Currently, indicator-renderer seems
to be provided by:
- lomiri
- mate-indicator-applet
- xfce-indicator-plugin

I am not familiar with those packages to suggest which one.

Thank you for your time,
