This dependency is needed due to QtUiTools, otherwise compilation fails. Well, splitting QtUiTools is an idea too, though that would be about 5 files total.
...though the deps in both designer and linguist would likely need to be strict in case of a split (probably as far as on ~qtuitools-${PV}).
Or we could put QtUiTools back into qtgui...

I know, but if "someone" didn't prematurely unmask it, moreover without asking the team... Anyway, I was away from my gentoo machine for the past 2 weeks, I'll try to look into this asap now that I'm back.
I've decided to keep QtUiTools in dev-qt/designer. Dependency added to linguist, closing. Thanks for reporting!
