Oh sorry.. I expected you was away and not aware of the problems with the new
libpng-dev.
For my understanding of the problem, you are are right in that the problems
are not in libqt, but it still creates new dependencies for libqt and
kde-packages depending on libqt!
The problems occur when combining packages that are build against libpng3
with ones that are build against libpng2, therefore these packages should
right now conflict if there is not solution in sight for libpng.
I am only asking you to set these dependencies so that users cant upgrade
libqt without also upgrading all the KDE-packages and vice-versa.
