You need to explicitly white list qt4-embedded in the 
LGPLv2_WHITELIST_GPLv3, currently the parsing for exclusion just looks 
at the incompatible license.

Also, looking at the current LICENSE in qt, it will need to be further 
defined on a package level as to how each package is licensed, so that 
when the manifest and audit occurs only the LGPLv2.1 bits are included.

We are open to patches such as this.

BTW, we have not tested building a graphical non-GPLv3 image, so you are 
treading on new ground, please let me know how it goes and we might 
include a qt image that is non-GPLv3.

Sau!
