Qt/Embedded is a integrated thing that uses linux framebuffer directly
with its own windowing system and such things.

Qt/Embedded does also contain most parts of normal Qt, but occasionally,
there is a difference wether it uses X11 or QWS (Qt windowing system).

The only interesting things in the Qt packaging is the patches.
