I always review it. If there is a *big* update - I look at what it is for, and if it is something I don't use, it gets the axe and is removed. Unless it is a dependency. qt is on my system because for some reason completely unknown to me, my print driver wants it. My printer (HP LaserJet 4) has the Postscript Level II simm, so I suspect that I could use just a generic postscript driver. But it is weird that the driver cups chose for my printer has qt for a dependency.
