regarding the known issue:

"Most people who package Qt 4.x related stuff link libqt4 from KDE:Qt, they do 
not aggregate it or build the repository against KDE:Qt"

I consider this as a web UI issue actually. It is really easy to link packages 
via the "create a source link" button. But it is way harder to see how you 
can reuse directly another package (via target modification or via the expert 
target add page.)

This is definitive something we need to improve. My first guess would be to 
add a generic "Add new package" wizard, which could offer the following 
items:

 * Create own new source package.
 * Reuse packages from other project builds (this would need to modify the 
   target definition later on)
 * Rebuild source from other project. (WARNING: will affect your quota)
 * Copy in build package from other project and republish it. (WARNING: will 
affect your quota)

Robert, you may want to consider this in your mockup.
