Nope, not that important or big of a deal (at least not as long as
it's in [unsupported]).

The only benefit is that you stay in line with the naming in [extra],
so it would then be more search-friendly. And yes, the votes will be
lost, but they can grow again :)

In any case, let us know which option you're comfortable with so we
can remove one of them.

If you do go with (2), I'd suggest that you add:

replaces=('plasma-daisy-plasmoid')

Or with (1), you could:

provides=('kdeplasma-addons-applets-daisy')
