sni-qt can definitely be a Recommends of libqtgui4, it is useful on other desktops too (i.e. Plasma or Xubuntu). fcitx-frontend-qt4: I don't think it has anything Unity-specific, and also most of the users don't need it, so can be a suggestion of libqtgui4. So we are down to appmenu-qt. It's tiny (the only non-Qt dependency is libdbusmenu-qt4) so probably it can be a recommendation of libqtgui4 too. -- Dmitry Shachnev
