Very detailed explanation for your reasoning, maybe stuff for a
cover-letter?

Maybe

Subject: qt: add truetype font installation option

Make truetype font installation optional.

is detailed enough?

BR2_PACKAGE_QT_FONT_DEJAVU is a little misnamer, better BR2_PACAKGE_QT_FONT_TRUETYPE ?

I think this depends on does the right thing as the config
option is embedded into the BR2_PACKAGE_QT_EMBEDDED, but
I find

	depends on BR2_PACKAGE_QT_QTFREETYPE || BR2_PACKAGE_QT_SYSTEMFREETYPE

more readable...
