Design notes
- Backend
- lib should only depend on QtCore >=5.3, possibly boost::python
- common functions like partitioning
- works as job queue and executor
- plugin based to let distro-specific tasks be done in a distro-specific order
- Frontend
- QtWidgets >=5.3, other deps as needed
- themeable so branding can be done easily (plugin-based)
- presents a bunch of pages in a scripted order, enqueues jobs in the backend lib
