Just to follow up on this - it has actually very little to do with PyQt itself, it's in -devel because the Nokia packages it depends on are not optified. Thus, a PyQt application in Extras would mean an avalanche of several dozen non-optified megabytes in dependecies for the user. PySide, in it's current iteration being less compact than PyQt, suffers from this problem even more heavily. We're basically waiting for PR1.1 to resolve this problem. If it does, I'm pushing PyQt in Extras(-testing) the very next day.
