Building lots of Linux packages sure makes you notice some weird things. Like why does the KDE screenshot tool spectacle depend on OpenCV (a computer vision library that also pulls in numpy)? Because its image resize function produces nicer results than Qt. https://invent.kde.org/plasma/spectacle/-/merge_requests/340 🙃

@wezm surely that's worth vendoring or rewriting code

@wezm if only the Qt screenshot code gave better results instead and skip all the dependencies entirely...
