Please coordinate the qwt transition with the Release Team, they can
binNMU the reverse dependencies that don't need source changes like qgis.

Yes, I've disable the QwtPolar support in qgis after you contacted me
about your planned switch to Qwt 6.1, and I've forwarded the issue
upstream to alert them as well. The QGIS upstream developers need to
update qwtpolar to 1.1 or newer to support Qwt 6.1. They'll get around
to that when Qwt 6.1 breaks their builds for unstable, or they'll just
disable it too.

Kind Regards,

Bas
