qbittorrent versions: same dependency graph?

Should qbittorrent-nox really have the same dependency list as qbittorrent?
That means that qbittorrent-nox, a no-gui version of qbittorrent, requires you to install things like Xorg, wayland, libpng, libcups, vulkan-icd-loader, etc.

The list of dependencies installed to a minimal system for qbittorrent-nox is at least this long:

avahi-0.8+20+gd1e71b3-1

double-conversion-3.1.5-2

wayland-1.19.0-1
xcb-util-0.4.0-3
xcb-util-image-0.4.0-3
xcb-util-keysyms-0.4.0-3
xcb-util-renderutil-0.3.9-3
xcb-util-wm-0.4.1-3
xdg-utils-1.1.3+19+g9816ebb-1
xkeyboard-config-2.33-1
xorg-xprop-1.2.5-1
xorg-xset-1.2.4-2
qbittorrent-nox-4.3.7-1

As a practical solution, currently there is a qt5-base-headless in the AUR which reduces the madness.

Re: qbittorrent versions: same dependency graph?

If the tool requires qt5-libs just the same then you are unlikely to get around this.
