Hi David,

Four months have passed and it became clear that package alt-key in Debian is 
still affected by the Qt4 Removal with no sign of improvement. As a result, I 
am considering to submit an RM bug and remove it from Debian Archive.

Please feel free to share your idea about the future maintenance of alt-key in 
Debian, like whether it will continue to be maintained, should be removed or  
prefer not to be removed for now. I will submit the Removal bug to FTP Masters 
31 days later if there's no reply.
