If it compiles with *all* versions of python-qt3, you should use an
unversioned build-dependency. In that case you only need to get the
binary dependency right, which is pretty easy if you use something like
"Depends: python-qt3 (= ${python-qt3:Version})".
You then only need to get the version number of the python lib you used
to build the package (either with some package-specific tool or dpkg -l)
and add a "python-qt3:Version=1.2.3" to debian/substvars.
