I didn't add lxqt-l10n because it is stated as deprecated on it's home
page.

Sorry about this. I should have been more careful.

These variables are used by all LXQt packages during build time. But
there is no big issue if they are not defined here, I guess it is
because XDG_*_DIRS environment variables are set correctly during
runtime. They default to directories within
/gnu/store/*-lxqt-build-tools-*/ like this:
"/gnu/store/86wy8q4yplhalf3yvmzv673naarxn3na-lxqt-build-tools-0.5.0/share"

I defined these variables here to serve an aesthetic purpose, so that
the "Technical Info" tab within lxqt-about can show the values defined
above rather than directories like this:
"/gnu/store/86wy8q4yplhalf3yvmzv673naarxn3na-lxqt-build-tools-0.5.0/share".
