OK. I did not know such a package was around. Since I assume many of us will 
be compiling for either or both, this solution (mutually exclusive packages) 
is not, in my mind, the best. I have requested from one dev so far that the 
QT_SELECT by done by his configure script.

Another alternative could be a /etc/default/qtchooser. This could specify even 
more default properties, if desirable. Comment out the build alternative not 
desired
#QT_SELECT=4
QT_SELECT=5

I guess a situation of name-your-poison.
Can rephrase bug as "wishlist."
