That's a bug in the policy I failed to notice. It should be restricted to
packages that build modules only for the non-default version of Python which
Avogadro doesn't. One or the other package needs to be changed. I agree with
that.
python-avogadro is the only package in the archive that depends on python2.7-
qt4. I think it makes more sense to fix it there than in python-qt4 and depend
on a bug in poilcy, but since that's what it says, I'll fix it in python-qt4 if
you prefer.
Note that XS-Python-Version: current is long deprecated and has never been
supported by dh_python2, so that part of your package isn't doing anything.
Here's all that's needed:

You'll find that it makes absolutely no difference about what packages are
pulled in when it's installed. If you'd be willing to fix it this way, I'll
take on talking to the release team about it.
