QT4 migration is done in version 3.0. A beta was released Q2-2011. Luma 3.0
has a package up for sponsorship at mentors.debian.net. The project webpage
hasn't been updated much and therefore project can seem as dead, but just
hasn't gotten the tender loving care it deserves.

If anyone are interested in sponsoring Luma, please take a look at the package uploaded
to mentors.debian.net - and contact Per or me.
