Well the Calligra libs and the rendering bits like flake are separate and
shared by all Calligra applications. However, when you look at any
particular app (lets say Words), then the way our build is configured makes
it impossible to not to build the apps themselves.

So, atleast for now, we need to build the full apps for Words, Sheets and
Stage for CA to work properly. Maybe what we can do is that from the PA
package we can remove the .desktop files for the apps or blacklist them.
