Jonathan: Do you think it would be better if it was a hard depends
instead of recommends? Or should we keep it recommends since it is
possible to use qcad without qcad-data?

Also, you both might be interested in a new development in qcad.
Debian is removing qt3 after squeeze, and RibbonSoft has not released
a GPLed version of qt4 qcad, so qcad will be removed from debian soon.
The debian qcad maintainers are now beginning to maintain the qt4 port
of qcad, called "libreCAD" www.caduntu.org (will be moving to
www.librecad.ord soon).

While not in Debian or Ubuntu yet, you can find a PPA of the package
here:

For Ubuntu 10.04 use:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:showard314/librecad
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install librecad

for Ubuntu 10.10 and Natty use:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:showard314/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install librecad

Documentation isn't built as of now, but it is the same as qcad. If
you have time, please check out that package and report bugs either to
upstream or to me directly.
