Description:

qdbus-qt5 is an user dependency, needed by starkde and therefore by plasma-workspace, while most of qt5-tools (assistant, designer, lconvert, linguist, etc) are dependencies for Qt developers.

Other distros separate qdbus so it can be used as a dependency for plasma-workspace instead of depending on all qt5 development tools.

I know this task will be closed, but as a KDE user it is frustrating (oh my OCD) to have those unnecessary programs installed.
This task depends upon

If you care this much about "unnecessary" programs, a full DE like KDE doesn't make a lot of sense.

Sorry, but we're not going to complicate our packaging unless there's a good reason to.
