Andreas, Although Qt is the best GUI from a programmer's point of view that I have ever used, it is terribly non-compatible between versions, and it is sufficiently complicated that it still has a significant number of stability (bug) issues. Thus we try to keep bat on the most stable and most recent release possible. If you go to the Qt site (http://qt-project.org/downloads) you will see that Qt 4.8.4 is the most recent stable version within the 4.x series. We are not yet ready to try 5.0. Previously we did not force Bacula to compile with the version we are developing/testing/using and we had nothing but support problems. So now, the Bacula bat source code requires the version we are using. You can modify it if you want, but you will probably end up with a less stable bat.
I am using Ubuntu 12.04 as my development system, but like you I would not consider replacing the Qt on the system. This is why we produce a depkgs-qt package (see source forge download), which has Qt 4.8.4. You simply build it, and setup the appropriate environment variables (in a script) and then build bat with it. The day that Qt becomes stable and all the distros have some stable compatible version will be a big welcome for us, but we are not yet there. I believe that all this is documented in our manual.
