I was going to include extra information about the packages layout in
their description, but probably I should at least be consistent with the
logical layout of the other components on Debian, i.e.: if Debian's Qt
comes with SQL and OpenGL in the same package (currently, it's that way,
in the past we had a separate package for -gl), then there's no real gain
excluding them from PyQt's one.

The same comes for PyKDE, of course.

Anyway, I'm getting Qt extensions in a separate package, as even if they
come as an option at PyQt package, they depend on elements out of Qt, and
would depend and force to install extra element (QScintilla libs, in this
case).

Thanks Jim.
