It's not necessarily foolproof. There are two cases where that would fail: * New dependencies * Qt/KF stack version upgrades (5->6, 6->7, etc.) Providing the list there allows those dependencies to be added as soon as they're needed with the added benefit of distributors having a reference to understand what they need to have for the stack to build. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth!
