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
