[Bug 1029476] [NEW] Remove qt-x11-free from the archive

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

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.
