Many thanks Leonardo. However I still have some doubts: as far as I understood I should remove the dependencies from glib and gstreamer inside DEPENDS variable as it appears in qt4.inc file, otherwise BitBake, correctly, downloads and compiles them to satisfy Qt requirements, am I right?
If so, how can I avoid this from within my layer?

This image will basically inherit the one you want, then you need to remove the specific recipe.
