I've made a quick build.

qastools-common_0.16.1-1_all.deb       23988 bytes
qastools-qasconfig_0.16.1-1_amd64.deb  61768 bytes
qastools-qashctl_0.16.1-1_amd64.deb   274986 bytes
qastools-qasmixer_0.16.1-1_amd64.deb  309520 bytes

versus

qastools_0.16.1-1_amd64.deb 651262 bytes

Dependencies for qastools-qasmixer (same for the other two apps).
For qastools it's the same without qastools-common.
