If you bundle lots of stuff in the tarball you may end up "wrongly" increasing your dependencies and people won't use the framework because "it depends on QtNetwork" or some other stuff that it's only used in kwalletmanager. Please let's not bundle stuff just because it's easier when there's a lot of people unbundleing stuff because it's better.
