Well kdelibs is configured to use the galaxy theme by default, so it
kinda has to require it. *Maybe* that wouldn't be necessary if the
installer just made sure galaxy-kde got installed by default, but the
Requires still might makes sense (like what if someone does a custom
package installation?).
Install kdelibs with --nodeps and kdeutils, no other kde package, no
galaxy-kde. kcalc (and many other kde applications) will run just fine.
Since when libraries have to be configured? They are just a repository
of functions, aren't they?
Well, see this changelog entry and the corresponding thread in Cooker:
