package variants, ex: emacs-gtk, emacs-lucid

I noticed there are no package variants 
for emacs, libreoffice. I didnt check 
other packages. examples: emacs-gtk, 
emacs-lucid, libreoffice-writer, 
libreoffice-calc. Is this intentional?

I see a few but have not used them:

  emacs-no-x [1]
  emacs-no-x-toolkit [2]
  emacs-next [3]
  emacs-next-tree-sitter [4]
  emacs-next-pgtk [5]
  emacs-next-pgtk-xwidgets [6]
  emacs-motif [7]

There may be a couple more variants in here [8].

I think our standard Emacs ships with GTK support. I am not sure we offer Lucid.

Kind regards
Felix
