I had the exact same problem.  My solution, though not the best was to
download qt from trolltech and compile the library myself in /usr/local
and set my QTDIR pointing to there.  Probably not the best solution.  I
just figured it was due to my lack of knowledge regarding debian.  Now
that I see that wasn't necessarily the case I guess a bug report is in
order?  It seemed that when I did apt-get install libqt3-mt-dev it
installed the qt runtime libraries with it.  I could compile and what not
but not link.
