I have noticed something worrying about dependencies in Fedora. This is
the output of "apt-get remove qt"
[root at localhost maynard]# apt-get remove qt

Abort.
This is worrying. Is there any reason for GNOME programs to have
dependencies on qt. This is possible, and probably is a result of the
whole redhat-artwork thingy. Can these be built in such a way that it is
possible to remove qt without removing non qt related packages.
