Bug#725887: Dropping NAS support
Package: qt4-x11
Severity: normal
I suggest to remove NAS support from libqtgui4 or move it to a separate
module which can be installed selectively. NAS is a vintage sound
server and unlikely to be present on modern desktop system (since it
would also fight with pulseaudio over sound device control).
Passing -no-nas-sound to configure and dropping the build-dep on
libaudio-dev resolves this.
QT seems to be the main "culprit" for the relatively large installed base
of libaudio2 compared to the NAS sound server itself:
