There's no difference here, and there shouldn't be anyway, drake can be
multithreaded make-style with the -j flag or by setting the env variable
like it's currently done. Make-style happens to look neater, and the number
of threads is configured by the user instead of being hardcoded in the
PKGBUILD.

Hmm, no?

You don't say. Read the depends array once more.

Indeed, in that case I'd rather get rid of the duplicates. If it were up to
me, I wouldn't even package the Qt-enabled mkvinfo, the GUI doesn't bring
anyhting more compared to the CLI tool, and if people need a GUI, I would
highly recommend MediaInfo instead.
