Qt3 and LSB compliance

It would be good to move Qt 3 from main to universe, it's unmaintained
upstream, is a duplication of another library (Qt 4) and is not
actively used by anything much.

Reverse Build Depends:
Package: avahi  Qt 3 bindings can be dropped
Package: cppunit  Qt 3 GUI can be dropped
Package: djvulibre  Qt 3 GUI can be dropped
Package: qt-x11-free
Package: qwt  Qt 3 widgets can be dropped
Package: scribus  can be moved to universe
Package: unixodbc  Qt 3 bindings can be droped
Package: wvstreams  Qt 3 bindings can be droped

This leaves one dependency, lsb-desktop.  LSB upstream is pretty
inactive and doesn't seem to be updating to remove this obsolete
library.  Do we care about about LSB to keep Qt 3 in main?
