Hello,

As far as I know the Debian Python Team started a transition to drop python-
support and use dh_python2 instead[1].

You should wait until dbus-python switches to dh_python2 to switch python-qt4, 
otherwise python-qt4-dbus won't work. Also, switching python-qt4 will break 
python-qwt5-qt4, python-qwt3d-qt4 and python-qscintilla2 until they switch 
too; I will file bug reports against them as well.

Note that we (Debian Qt/KDE Mainatiners) uploaded a newer pykde4 using 
dh_python2 by mistake without being aware of the consequences, therefore 
pykde4 and systemconfig-printer-kde are broken, and will stay broken until both 
dbus-python an python-qt4 use dh_python2. We talked about it and we decided to 
just leave them broken for now. Hence why I'm filing this bug report.

Last but not least, note that I don't actually work on python stuff, please 
review the patch carefully. Also when applying the patch, please replace my 
dummy changelog entry with a proper one.
