In order to clean this up messagelib will have to be split up (instead of the -DMIMETREEPARSER_ONLY_BUILD=TRUE build switch).
We can also check whether the upstream packages can already split this up in packaging.

Upstream could split up the packaging or else provide alternative packages, a separately built kf5-mimetreeparser package the dependency on which can also be satisfied by kf5-messagelib .

Or, thinking of how this would be addressed in MacPorts: the kf5-kube package declares its dependency on kf5-mimetreeparser in such a way that it can also be satisfied by the complete kf5-messagelib package.

This is now resolved and the messagelib dependency is gone entierly.
