Description:

The package extra/qt4 is depended on by, for example, VLC and KeePassX. However, the package includes the entire QT sdk, flooding the menu with: QT4 Assistant; QT4 Designer; QT4 Linguist; QT4 QDbusViewer. This is overkill to install the QT developer tools just to run VLC.

Additional info:
* Proof: $ pacman -Qo `which designer-qt4` --> /usr/bin/designer-qt4 is owned by qt4 4.8.6-1

Steps to reproduce:

* Install VLC media player
* Open your DE's main menu
* Find the QT4 developer tools as listed above
This task depends upon
