6 Bug numbers should indeed have been provided. The tracker bugs are:
7 #217528 - [Tracker] x11-libs/qt-4.4.0 unmasking
8 #217161 - [Tracker] split Qt 4.4

10 Mostly it's a question of packages not having split qt-4 deps yet. Other
11 than that, the ebuilds have seen enough testing, as they are needed for
12 kde-4.1 for example, so that is not an issue anymore.

18 Except that as per bug 217161 nothing should depend on the metapackage.

20 At the moment I'm going through all the remaining open bugs. If things
21 are easy to fix for me I am fixing the deps, otherwise I'm leaving a
22 comment that the package needs fixing ASAP, because I don't want to wait
23 with unmasking qt-4.4 any longer. I hope to be able to do that by
24 tomorrow. (Although I'm still waiting on the remainder of the qt team to
25 officially become a member.)
