It looks like they don't need the full list of inputs, so I'll run
through them and see how much it can be cleaned up. The other thing I
notice is that qtbase and these two all have references to mesa, which
makes me think it may not need to be propagated in qtbase afterall. Then
again, removing it may cause some packages that count on qt/qtbase's
mesa as an input will come up a dependancy short.
