Hi Guix community,

Thank you for your great software :)

I noticed that the Monero package has an (a huge) unnecessary dependency here [1]. qt is an optional dependency for Monero code base (we only need that in case of using translations).

Anyway to make this optional? or get rid of this?

Freedom wins.

Thanks for providing the above tip for users who'd like rewrite the
dependencies of monero.  Guix will continue shipping translations in its
stock package, so you should use the above.  qt-tools is also a native
dependency, so shouldn't end up in the closure of the built package.
