Well, I guess the 26MB of stuff is indeed an issue, but where it
bothered us was that it adds a Qt3 Assistant menu item under
Programming, and currently that's the only item under Programming on the
Edubuntu menu, which could be kind of confusing for users.

We could use some hacky ways to remove it, but the ideal thing for us to
do is just not to install it. We're quite confident that users who'll be
interesting in developing with Qt will know how to install the
documentation for it themselves :)
