You could compile the packages and use "guix gc --references" to check
which of the inputs are used.

Two basic situations could occur:
- Essentially all inputs of qtbase are also needed for the other packages.
  Then in this special case, I think it does not matter too much to have
  added a few additional inputs, which in any case will have no effect on
  the build result or on installations.
- Only qtbase is used as an input, and the occasional additional one.
  Then I would add the inputs one by one by hand, until the package builds.
I think that the first case is more likely, and would be happy with you
pushing the packages then.
