Yeah.  The mistake was in not making a separate package (qt3) right away 
when the version changed.

The only true fix is to have *nothing* provide qt-shlibs or qt or any 
such thing, and then update all packages to depend on either 
qt2/qt2-shlibs or qt3/qt3-shlibs.

I've got a proper splitoff package for qt2 and I'm testing interaction 
between it and qt3 right now (gotta rebuild qt3, so it'll be a bit).  
I'll have something in unstable in a couple of hours.
