How to file a helpful issue

The problem you're addressing (if any)

qubes-vm-recommended requires specifically xfce4-notifyd, which is problematic for those who want to use alternative notification daemons.

The solution you'd like

Use a weak dependency on xfce4-notifyd and a strong dependency on the general desktop-notification-daemon capability. This capability is provided by many packages that include notification daemons.

The value to a user, and who that user might be

Users will be able to install alternate notification daemons more easily.
