What I meant is syncing efforts with the qt-x11-free packages so that things
don't show up double like the makeqpf and qvfb programs that we now package
inside qt-x11 which will make any dependency on your side to a build against
a qt-x11 obsolete; further where things should go and into which packages.
It's not so much an issue with qt-embedded 2.3.2 as it is with 3.x ones I
think, but generally tools like qvfb that are used by the developer on the
desktop (so depend on the x11 version) should ship with qt-x11.
Let's clear out details later when Martin has uploaded the new qt-x11
packages. We'll do a diff from qt-copy now against the original qt-x11-free
package from Trolltech to make clear it's a set of accepted packages but
everything shows up in the diff that includes the debian dir as patches
what's in qt-copy. Another thing is two manpages missing that we'll have to
write.
