FWIW, WebKit's gdk "port" uses qmake, as well as the Qt "port". Also, FWIW, Debian's WebKit source package (coming really soon, #428855) will build both ports, so it will build depend on libqt4-dev, qmake being in it or not. I don't feel an express need for a separate qmake for Debian, but maybe some users might want it. Anyways, if you put qmake aside, please make libqt4-dev depend on it.
