So it only needs dropping Qt3 support. the maintainers are pretty active, so I guess that would be an easy task. > (The maintainers of all those packages have been bcc'ed, please answer to > debian-python@ if you have something to say). > > Is it worth keeping python-qt3 and therefore Qt3 (that does not have any > maintainer) in Debian only for those apps?

I think python-qt3 should be removed, so raising the severity of the mentioned bugs (again?) would be a good start.
