Getting back to the intent of this bug, Bug #86893: I reproduced the problem on Ubuntu 6.10 - the Edgy Eft.
$ hp-toolbox
error: PyQt/Qt initialization error. Please check install of PyQt/Qt and try again (the python-qt3 package must be installed for this program to work).
The hp-toolbox package just needs to depend on the python-qt3 package; no fancy pop-up dialogs required.
