The bug report can be closed, please take a look at: http://packages.qa.debian.org/q/qwt.html I and Fathi packaged libqwt5 and decided to make a new package since it was very different from the old one. libqwt5 contains -qt3 and -qt4 ports in the same package. > > Similar situation with #350489 which is tagged patch but no response > from maintainer seems that he has lost interest.

I don't see any need in upgrading the Debian package for Qwt version 4 unless if some user requests it.
In fact I got python-qwt4 removed from Debian since the upstream support was limited and I didn't want to request support just for the Debian packages sake.
