You should wait until it's either upgraded or removed from unstable.  It=20
depends directly on the library, not the python binding, so if nothing else=
 is=20
using the python bindings they can be dropped now even if you keep Qt4 supp=
ort=20
for the moment.

I note that the new upstream release of tora supports Qt5, so I would=20
recommend emailing the maintainer (there's already a bug) to ask them to=20
either upgrade the package or file an rm request.
