Please port your package away from Qt 4

[Simon Quigley]

Currently Qt 4 has been dead upstream and we are starting to have problems maintaining it, like for example in the OpenSSL 1.1 support case.

Following in the footsteps of Debian[1], all packages directly or indirectly depending on qt4-x11 (like this one) must either get ported to Qt 5 and uploaded to the development release or get removed (by means of demotion to -proposed or removal of the package) before the 19.04 release. If it is possible to port your package by the 18.10 release, please do so.

If you have any questions about porting or this transition, please ask in #ubuntu-qt (preferred) or directly ping me

FTBFS in disco with rebuild against libtidy5deb1.

klinkstatus has been dropped from KDE applications releases and is not ported to Qt, and hence no longer supported upstream.

$ reverse-depends src:klinkstatus
No reverse dependencies found
$ reverse-depends -b src:klinkstatus
No reverse dependencies found

I believe we can go ahead and remove this source now.
