Starting from the Qt4 packages is certainly going to be your best bet.
If nothing else, they'll provided an example of how to do complex
package splits. You might also consider contacting the ~kubuntu-ninjas
team on Launchpad. They (either as a team or certain individuals)
might very well be interested in working on this as they are the folks
that work on KDE packages in Ubuntu. Your best bet is probably
dorpping by the #kubuntu-devel IRC channel on freenode. If nothing
else, make sure you are duplicating work that is already happening.

Thanks!
