Description
fman is being updated in fast pace, so every week (sometimes even few times a week) we get updates. On Ubuntu Linux update comes at 30+MB, bigger part of this package is composed of rarely updated libraries, e.g. PyQT5. It would be great to split those libs into separate package to decrease update size significantly.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or packaging entry point; start by locating the Linux/Ubuntu packaging metadata and how PyQt5 is bundled. Determine where dependencies are assembled and verify that the rarely updated libraries can be distributed separately. Done means Linux updates are materially smaller while fman still installs and runs with the separate package.
