Should be something like
dpkg -i lxqt-panel....... --force-overwrite

I don't like "something like"-solutions.

But *keeping* the current (lxqt-panel=2.2.2-1+b1), not the not-to-be-successfully-installed version (lxqt-panel=2.3.2-1) by issuing apt install --reinstall lxqt-panel=2.2.2-1+b1 let the d-u finish successfully. Then I marked lxqt-panel as *hold* (until there is a new, fixed package).

The problem is you have two packages trying to write the same file. You could just rename one of them then the package should install. For me I would rename the one from lxqt-branding-debian.

First, lxqt is not my primary DE. So I just wait until the maintainers get it right.

Second, I doubt your solution is a workaround. How renaming a package may fool apt is incomprehensible to me. lxqt-branding-debian is not a to-be-updated package.
