I don't think of this as a priority at the moment, but it would be possible to do. I think something like would do:
  • modrana core (all non-graphical stuff)
  • modrana default theme (all the icons are what are what makes the modRana package big)
  • GTK GUI
  • QML GUI
This would enable for example to only install the core, without all the graphical elements if one wanted to only use the modRana CLI (well, there is not much at the moment, but still) - like Saera does, for example (even though some commands launch the GUI, so it's not that clear-cut). Installing one of the GUIs would pull in the core and theme.

Best wishes. Thank you.

Interesting, that could be a nice feature. I'll check it out.
