This is not a bug report, it's a statement of fact.
Please describe this in a way that shows what you consider a bug, or a feature request (but in that case, please elaborate on the pros and cons).
I can already see a big fat con in offering so many different versions. As a user, why would I care if it's Qt 5 or Qt 6? And the Qt 5 version would probably go away soon anyway. So if there is a Qt 5 version, why bother with Qt 5 anymore?
Also, while there may be a handful of users who really don't want anything Qt on their machines, well, tough luck: It's one GUI toolkit out of roughly a dozen. Do you also sanitize your machine from the old Athena widgets? (xterm!) Or from Tcl/tk?
I would not even think about spending any amount of development time for that kind of thing. That's just wasted life energy.
I have set Severity to enhancement, which indicates that this is not a bug report. I don't know your role in maintaining the Chromium package. If you're just a user, you shouldn't really care about this issue because it's actually not related to the user. This is something that maintainers should consider. If you are the maintainer, I would say that there are not so many meaningful things in this world, only whether you want to do them or not. As a maintainer, if you don't want to do this, then wait for the next maintainer to do this. As for what you said about "sanctify my machine", I'm not an extremist. I'm just suggesting how to make it more reasonable, not more extreme. The more extreme suggestion would be to separate the GTK part as a package, the language part as a package, and the documentation as a package. Obviously, I didn't make these suggestions.

Also, think about how Ubuntu and all their derivatives package not only Chromium, but ALL Internet browsers, including Firefox and Opera: They just offer a big fat Snap package for each one that includes all dependencies, and that can't even handle a user's home directory on any other path than /home (been there, done that, got rid of my last Xubuntu box because of that), because then their sandbox concept is broken.
There are many ways to do it, and not all of them make sense; or at least have enough advantages to justify the constant extra work.
You can’t compare your job to excrement to determine which is superior, so such a comparison is pointless. I don't know what kind of advantage is considered enough for you, but for me, 'this is more reasonable' is enough. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
