I guess the reasoning was that with libyui-ncurses there is no harm done - rather get it in one case too many than in one case too few. It doesn't add many dependencies.

With libyui-qt, that's another matter: It depends on Qt which has quite a number of subpackages and a large number of dependencies like X11 etc.; even if you install X11 anyway, it might drag quite a number of other X11 stuff in that you wouldn't have otherwise.

I can understand why the pattern makers are considerably more reluctant to add libyui-qt to any pattern than libyui-ncurses.

IIRC in former times we had something like 'provides: yast2-ui' for all 3 of the UIs, but for some reason that was changed.
