I don't think it's Debian, because Debian tends to have compatibility packages for old versions too. For libcurl there's libcurl3. It depends on the package, of course.

Only for so long - try installing qt3 on a recent Debian or Ubuntu.

I don't have a Debian machine to test it on but a casual search finds qt1-3 in the AUR on Arch. Of course building the whole GUI suite would be a bit annoying but its better than nothing if you have some really old software that depends on it.

I might compare qt3 to Silverlight or ActiveX.
