That fetches a really long list of other libs in, which sometimes (as in my case descibed above) aren't needed for the compilation of the package. So I would split all /usr/bin/ and /usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/ into an own package and let libqt4-dev depend on it. So no packages depending on libqt4-dev will fail, and maintainers have the choise to depend on qmake only. Regards Evgeni
