It can't. The dependency is there because there used to be a huge pile
of duplicate files that I removed by having this dependency tree. Most
files are in nogui, some are in gtk and only qt specific stuff is in qt.

Ok. Do I understand correctly that you want a new package lcl-src which
contains most of the current lazarus-src, while leaving the ide stuff in
lazarus-src?

I believe you misunderstand me here. We have meta package called gtk and
qt (without the version number). However, in one upstream version, I
think we only ship one, so the gtk-# and qt-# are non-sense on top of
gtk2-# and qt4-#.

If I read those links, I believe the idea typically is to add the
additional package indeed.
