That's right, it will allow less disk usage for sure. But I don't know up to 
which point is a "nice to have" feature or something that would really 
decrease disk usage.

It is not strange to have more than one arch headers installed if cross 
compiling, but QML packages are, and please correct me if I'm wrong, only 
needed at run/develop time, but not while building.

But again, it would be nice to have it for sure.
