Bug#802659: dbus-python: Please drop recommends on PyQt4 packages

[Dmitry Shachnev]

Source: dbus-python
Version: 1.2.0-2
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

Attached is a patch that does the following:

  Drop obsolete recommendations of Qt 4 packages

  * python-qt4-dbus is a replacement for dbus-python; if one uses one package,
    he will not need the other.
  * python3-dbus.mainloop.qt is a package providing support for Qt (4.x) main
    loop. However, Qt uses GLib main loops on UNIX systems by default, so this
    package is needed very rarely and we should not recommend it.

  In the description of python-dbus-dev, replace dbus.mainloop.qt with
  dbus.mainloop.pyqt5, which is the modern successor of dbus.mainloop.qt.

  Also, drop the alternative recommendation for python-gobject-2. That
  package has been deprecated for a long time and we want to remove it from
  the archive as soon as possible.

Please consider applying it.
