Bug#969280: provide transitional dummy package qdbus



Hi Helmut!

The qdbus package vanished in the qt4 removal. It appears like one has
to stop using this software, unless one happens to know that there is a
qt5 variant of it. To a basic user, these are indistinguishable. I argue
that therefore qdbus-qt5 should just fill the gap and ship a
transitional dummy package called qdbus, which depends on qdbus-qt5.
That'd make upgrading a lot smoother. Thanks for considering.

In which specific case this would be needed? A normal user should not install qdbus by hand, an a developer should be able to quickly find it. But of course I might be missing some use case.
