Two ones come to mind: IPv4/6 and Python2/3 :( Exactly. Given all the above I'll try to push Qt4 tonight. If in 24hs I do not get to do it please do no heasitate in NMUing (or waiting a little more until I or someone else in the team gets to it). > > By the way: in http://deb.li/qt5builds I noticed that most qt5 submodules > > have been built but not qtbase!

That might be comming from the initial packaging and might be a leftover from qt4. I have already filed a bug against the source to check that, as I think it is not really used.
