if at all possible, we should not add packages that depend on Qt-4.
This one, in particular, would revert my following commit:

    gnu: Remove python2-pyqt-4.
    
    * gnu/packages/qt.scm (python2-pyqt-4): Delete variable. It depends on Qt 4,
      which does not receive security updates any more.

I had removed the package since I realised that nothing depended on it.

The goal is to get rid of Qt-4 (and also of the monolithic Qt-5).
