You should wait until it's either upgraded or removed from unstable.  It 
depends directly on the library, not the python binding, so if nothing else is 
using the python bindings they can be dropped now even if you keep Qt4 support 
for the moment.

I note that the new upstream release of tora supports Qt5, so I would 
recommend emailing the maintainer (there's already a bug) to ask them to 
either upgrade the package or file an rm request.
