libqtgui4-perl is necessary to build Ui_DebconfWizard.pm from the WizardUi.ui file. That it fails to FTBFS, and generates an empty Ui_DebconfWizard.pm is probably unintentional, a hack discards the failure from puic4 not running. If debconf is built without libqtgui4-perl it will not have a functional kde frontend. > I'm reporting this as important because qt4-perl (source package for > libqtgui4-perl) might have to go away from testing (or archive) temporarily or > permanently.
