I recently tried to install libqt-opengl-dev, and was surprised to see how many (more than 20, I think) currently installed packages would need to be removed in order to accommodate it and its dependencies (see attached screenshot), especially since it's just the development files for a library I already have installed (same version and everything). Is this the correct behavior, or is something wrong somewhere? FWIW, I'm running Trisquel 7, and using us.archive.trisquel.info/trisquel as the package repository. Trying to install libqt4-opengl-dev via apt-get or aptitude from the command line produces similar results.

Have you tried apt-get with --no-install-recommends? Sometimes the recommends get in the way in surprising ways.

Thanks for the tip. It didn't make things work, but it helped me diagnose the problem. The problem is that at some point I had installed a dependency of a dependency from upstream, making it a more recent version than what's compatible with some other libraries in the Trisquel repository. That's what leads to the conflicts.
