I usually don't do patch review, so don't weight too much my comments.

Why is it placed inside a new module?  It should fit nicely in sync.scm

.git shouldn't be needed

This hash is wrong, I get 022k7b3c30dymrjc1g3ly2cac1c34gkqnvjya6p7w2j3qw2w1dm2

This can be expressed in terms of what you you are keeping instead.

Something along the line of:

(let ((preserved-3rdparty-files
                '("QProgressIndicator" "qtlockedfile" "qtokenizer"
                  "qtsingleapplication" "kmessagewidget")))
           (with-directory-excursion "src/3rdparty"
             (for-each
              (lambda (directory)
                (simple-format #t "deleting: ~A\n" directory)
                (delete-file-recursively directory))
              (lset-difference string=?
                               (scandir ".")
                               (cons* "." ".." preserved-3rdparty-files))))
           #t)

This line is too long, you can use something like
("PKGCONFIG_GETVAR\\(.*") instead.

Other long line, maybe string-append.

Why?

It's missing a comment on why this is needed (like qttest tries to create
$HOME/.qttest/config/autostart/)
> +    (license license:gpl2+)))

Unbundled dependencies have different licenses
QprogressIndicator is under expat while others lgpl2.1+ if I'm not wrong

Also, I tried removing ruby and python-sphinx from the dependencies and
it did build fine, so be sure all of them are needed (or are they used
for some optional feature?).

Thanks
