Do you want to continue [Y/n]?

OK, I get it, a basic upgrade from kdelibs4* to kdelibs5 pulls in:

After this operation, 64,4MB of additional disk space will be used.

But the other hundred megabytes? They seem to mostly come from two top
dependencies - first is kdebase-runtime, which pulls in:

After this operation, 94,6MB of additional disk space will be used.

Of that, 43 MB is just for the icon theme!

And the other is libqt4-webkit with Installed-Size: 17056.

Is all this really necessary just to get a newer pretty wodim front-end? :)

Please tell me there is room for cutbacks, even if it means reassigning
the bug somewhere else and/or cloning it. TIA.
