Your argument is that of principles against usability. People USE Debian. The 
principles are important, of course, but as far as they don't interfere with 
usability.

You speak about "dead code" as if Qt4 has totally disappeared. As you know, 
there are and will be so many Qt4 apps. Porting to Qt5 is a good advice but, 
here again, an advice against usability?!
