No; the packages will only get removed from testing when either the
binary packages no longer exist in unstable or the source package is
removed from testing.

Given that nothing in the archive uses the Qt3 libraries, either of #1
or #2 should be ok. Hopefully a fix could be found more quickly

How large is the diff between 1.4.2 and 1.5.0? Given that it would
represent a year of development relative to unstable, I'm guessing it
might be quite large. :-/
