Even upstream has given up on qtdmm to make the transition to current Qt/KDE standards and develops QtDMM 2, which is not packaged for Debian. Now Debian will not continue the maintenance of the older libraries and Ana today sent #604578, suggesting to initiate the removal of anything depending on those older libraries. The package has a rather surprisingly high user base >200 on popcon and needs little maintenance. It is sad to see it go, but if it shall be, so be it. For the fragile Linux community of electroengineers it would be neat to directly offer QtDMM2 as a substitute. But I am too busy to address that.
