A way to get around the problem of that dependency is to download the 
stable version of the package and put it in your tarball as '3rd party 
libs' with a configure option like Qt has to either use the system or the 
shipped one.
This way the packager can decide which one to take.
Note, btw, from my carefull wording above that I do *not* suggest to have 
the external software in your source repository!

I'm sure that that will lead to less work in the end.
