Debian plans to not have Qt 4 after Debian 8.0 [1]. But that means
~2017 indeed for stable release users, the removal itself happening
during 2015-2016 in the development version. The main reason is that
Qt 4 upstream support officially ends, and Debian needs to support
Jessie's Qt4 for critical/security bug fixes at least until 2018, or
even 2020 if the LTS effort continues.
