@Khurshid: If the stuff is deprecated and unmaintained, we have to
remove it. Otherwise we get stuck and cannot move forward and upgrade
other parts of the stack, like Qt in this case.

If you are interested in keeping this stuff alive, nothing prevents you
from creating a PPA and keeping these packages there.
