Hey, I am glad to hear this!   :-)
I am adding the Qt4-removal bug address to the list of recipient, since
this is good news for Qt4-removal issue.

Any specific reason to use a version number (4.2.5-7~exp1) which is
actually considered lower than the one currently in Debian unstable
(4.2.5-7+b1)?

  $ if dpkg --compare-versions 4.2.5-7+b1 lt 4.2.5-7~exp1 ; then echo yes ; else echo no ; fi
  no

Should it be 4.2.5-8~exp1, perhaps?
