There are different source packages for different versions of Qt - you
seem to have downloaded the one for Qt v1.

I do not produce a source package for Qt v3.0.3 because it's not the
latest version. There is a source package for Qt v3.0.4.

I'm happy to produce a package for Qt v3.0.2/3 if that's what current
distro's are shipping with - can I have feedback on that please?
