Easy people, Qt dependencies are still being ironed out. The python-qt4 I pushed to extras-testing is the first reference version that should be taken seriously under PR1.2.

Also, as a general rule of thumb with python to which pyqt is no exception - DEPEND ON WHAT YOU IMPORT. If you import QtGui and QtCore, then depend on those two. The python2.5-qt4(-doc) metapackages are for developers and tinkerers, NOT for applications.

Another thing - USE VERSIONED DEPENDENCIES. If you just toss in a generic python2.5-qt4-gui dependency, it does not say what version of Qt you want. So if someone did not upgrade to PR1.2, they might get the old, Qt4.5 version of PyQt4 which of course might not be what you want if your app is developed for Qt4.6.
