Recently I uploaded libqglviewer 2.6.1 into experimental branch of Debian, built
against qt5 [1]. Looks OK. But I think we should provide both -qt4 and -qt5
libs for the transition period. Qt-team has the same opinion [2].

So I will try to prepare a libqglviewer-qt4 and libqglviewer-qt5 and
upload it into
unstable. But such upload should be first approved by FTP-masters,
there is a long queue of such packages already [3] so it will take a time.

I guess, we should also migrate freeglut into qt5.

@Bruno, I think python3 should not be a large problem. Some more time
will take Qt5-migration, because all build-depends should support it first.
