Putting all KDE packages plus all other Qt-using packages into one
monster source tarball for building them a second time sounds like
a nightmare impossible to maintain.
Like how would security updates of gst-plugins-good1.0 in stable work
when a second copy of it is in the monster tarball due to gstreamer1.0-qt5?

And that is not a realistic option.
