Yes indeed, Qt is a horrible package ;)

I don't think the situation is similar to qtopia though, since the
tools built by Qt are needed by all subsequent packages that use Qt.
This means I need to put them somewhere on the $PATH (I settled for
${TOP}/bin), and I also need to install a few data files needed by
those tools (I settled for ${TOP}/bin here too). It seems to work all
right, but it's far from elegant.

Am I correct in my assessment that this scenario is rather poorly
supported by ltib (and probably every other rootfs builder out there
too)?
