The split packages are the way that Linux distributions will build Qt, so it 
must work. It's also the only way (so far) that people could opt in and out of 
extra modules. If people don't want webkit, they simply don't have to download 
it and build it.

The bigger package is simply a convenience for people who want to build 
everything.

They can be shown, provided that they appear after the split tarballs and that 
they are a convenience for downloading and building everything.
