That is already the way it works - as Shane Kearns pointed out in a
followup mail.  For testing qtbase, you get qt5, qtbase and v8.
For testing another gitmodule, you get just that gitmodule, plus the
gitmodules it depends on, plus qt5.

Currently, each gitmodule has a top-level sync.profile which specifies
the other repositories to be checked out for the test, along with their
SHA1.  Most of them are explicitly opting in to refs/heads/master (or
refs/heads/qml2 for qtquick3d) as it was decided a while back that the
goal should be to have the tip of all modules working together.  So,
yes, although the latest qtdeclarative may not require the latest
qtbase, it's an explicit choice (controllable by the module maintainer)
to test it this way at the moment.
