The first one is a bit redundant, the second one useful. Maybe other packages
will also provide more than one module, then this text would be helpful.
I would suggest to capitalise them as in the library names, such as
"Qt5Concurrent" etc.. What do you think?

Concerning Mesa, I agree that it should probably not be propagated by
qtbase.
