This sounds like a good idea. 

FWIW, the contents of this packagegroup came up on IRC a week or two ago and 
it was pointed out that the main package includes qt4-embedded which pulls in 
everything, but also includes a subset of the qt4-embedded-* packages and 
having both seems a bit pointless. I did test removing qt4-embedded from the 
packagegroup to see what would be removed from a qt4e-demo-image; 
unfortunately I don't seem to have the buildhistory output to hand, but IIRC 
it didn't seem to me that anything we would have needed was being removed.

Cheers,
Paul
