IMO, the reason for the missing files is the ridiculous number of
superfluous packages Qt has been split into. Is it really necessary to
have libqt3-mt-dev, libqt3-headers, libqt3-compat-headers,
qt3-dev-tools, qt3-designer, qt3-apps-dev, qt3-linguist, qt3-assistant,
qt3-qtconfig, qt3-dev-tools-embedded, qt3-dev-tools-compat, etc. (I
think I even left some out!) in separate packages? Just a single -dev
package seems sufficient to me.
It makes me wonder what kind of a bribe it took to get this past the
ftp-masters.
