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.
