I don't think this is, er... wise. This means if I want to make a (cross-)compiler, I have to install Qt, GNOME, XUL (which conflicts: mozilla-browser) even if I'll never want to use java. Also, any RC-bug in these will make gcc not suitable for testing. I think the same arguments as in Bug#360881 apply here. Also, the same solution should be used (eg. split the package).
