OK...  But following that train of dependencies, I get:
debconf -> src:perlqt (for libqtgui4-perl) -> libsmokeqt4-dev -> libsmokeqsci3 
-> libqscintilla2-11 -> pyqt5

Seemingly all because debconf uses puic4 at build time to generate
Ui_DebconfWizard.pm from a .ui xml file.

So I *believe* that if we could avoid that one Build-Depend, we could
demote perlqt, smokeqt, qscintilla2, pyqt5, qtserialport-opensource-src
, and qtx11extras-opensource-src while leaving qtenginio-opensource-src
and qtwebsockets-opensource-src in universe.  Which would make life
easier for KDE and main smaller.

The generated .pm file is only 155 lines.  Couldn't we just directly
patch that into debconf (while also having the patch remove the current
.ui file, so that if it changes, the patch won't apply and we'd know to
update the patch) or change debconf to load the .ui file directly
instead of using the compiled .pm file?
