I intend to follow the deprecation with the removal of:
 - database/luma -- last devel activity was more or less qt3->qt4
 - qt4 option in pulseaudio (as unmaintained option)
 - eric4 qt4 ide (eric5 is qt5 as well)
 - basic256 (qt5 in theory available in 1.1.4.0, release from 2014)

Candidates for upgrades:
 - py-hgview
 - py-tortoisehg
 - picard
 - hydrogen
 - djview4
 - anki
 - gns3
 - mnemosyne
 - xca

Unknown status:

 - qwt6-qt4, qwt-qt4, qwtplot3d-qt4
 - openscad
 - merkaartor
 - xxdiff
 - dhcpcd-qt (maintainer roy@) ?
 - scribus-qt4
 - bzr-explorer, qbzr -- py2 and qt4 combo

Is there anything else noteworthy except kde4?
