I am returning to Qt programming after a long absence. Removing these files creates far more problems than are purportedly avoided. A significant fraction of the examples fail even to compile now. (Maybe the examples should be removed also?)
Qt, and new concepts in Qt, are traditionally introduced by these examples. Broken examples make for a very unsatisfying experience. We know some APIs are unstable but we need to use them. And we would like the examples to work as they always do upstream. I tried to rebuild the broken packages locally but the files are even removed from the source package so I cannot simply undo a broken patch. I now have to uninstall Debian's Qt and start over with a working Qt from upstream. Please undo this removal. Debian packaging can add a lot of value to upstream software, when it doesn't take away more than it adds. --Mike
