[QGIS-Developer] QGIS Server now install a full DE?

[Uros Preloznik]

Hi

Thanks for pointing it out, but I think we should install server as we did
all the time. No need to look into ubuntu for this. We should look at
dependencies and why some core stuff needs some optional things like Nylan
pointed out. I can see problem might be connected to point where server got
dependency to python3-qgis and then all the rest came in.

I think main question is does QGIS Server needs dependency to python?
