Actually, I've finally started to list the deps so I can see if I
can drop any of these from my possible test-build - and I see that
the systemd book has both the "download and build everything" page
("KDE Frameworks-5.11.0"), and then individual packages starting
with Attica.
I will also note that anybody who uses their own package management
system probably already treats each package individually. But -
your book, your rules.
