My personal opinion about this is that this whole discussion is a waste
of energy since as far as I can tell we're not violating anyone's intent.

However, my personal opinion aside, if we have to remove one then KDE is
the only viable alternative.  Qt works stand-alone.  KDE does not.  Removing
Qt from Debian leaves a non-functional KDE so there is no point in
continuing to keep the KDE packages (at which point we can allow Qt once
more).
