Bug description:
Qt3 has been EOL'd by Trolltech (now a division of Nokia) back in
2008. It is unmaintained through and through, and it is time to move
on.
To quote Jonathan Riddell from a mail to ubuntu-devel:
"Qt 3 is old, unmaintained and unused by anything anyone cares about.
It's been removed from Debian. So I propose we remove it from Ubuntu
too, just after an LTS is a good time to do this. This will mean we
are not compliant with lsb-desktop but a standard which uses obsolete
technologies isn't any use to anyone."
This bug will serve as a metabug for packages that either need removal
or modifications to remove Qt3 reverse dependencies.
