If I understand you correctly the technique is to download the 
entire suite but use ccmake to limit the build to just Krita. Sort of 
like ordering a Martini when all you want is an olive. 

Is this what the developers do?

The other graphics programs I use (Scribus, Gimp, Inkscape etc.) 
aren't tied to a particular Office Suite in this manner. It would be 
nice if there was a stand-alone variant of Krita that could be 
worked on independently from the Koffice suite. Most of Koffice 
(KWord, Kpresenter  etc.) is frankly junk. Open Office is better 
program by program. But Krita is unique among Open Source 
graphics programs.
