Hi,

I played with some qt5 programs (okular, otter-browser, ported qt5ct and
falkon), base qt5 ports require a lot of stuff that I didn't really want
to have -> python is one example -- it is listed as a full dependency
for most of them; I made it a build dependency only and it didn't fail.
I can't recall right now, but there were some other library dependencies
that I removed too.

Anyway, you can always try to remove unwanted dependency with
`pkg_delete -f` and see if the desired package fails. If it doesn't ->
remove it from the Makefile. If it doesn't but the package can't be
built without it -> make it a build dependency. Pretty simple actually.
The abovementioned python dependency was not even needed for building
those qt5-* packages.

In your case, clang is only needed for building qdoc. In Debian,
however, (lib-)clang is listed as a dependency of qttools.
