Even if the qttools module as a whole depends on qtbase, it doesn't have to mean that everything in qttools depends on qtbase. They could still build the wrapper alone by simply changing to the appropriate directory and just building it.

Having tools in qttools just sounds quite logical to me. :) Having more and more repos can also get confusing and make it difficult to find things. Simon's suggestion is not bad either, though.
