Not quite but we're close now (thanks again Colin!). The old Qt frontend and the corresponding build dependency on libqtgui4-perl are still there as Colin is seeking testers for the new frontend. See #631769 . I note that there's also a patch now for #887687 in src:smokeqt, so src:qt4-perl life support could still be extended a bit if necessary. -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org
