Some of the executables are "user applications", but still need to be
renamed. For example assistant-qt4 vs. assistant-qt5. At least, they show
different content by default (and the Qt 3 version that is unsuffixed
"assistant" here is completely different, it is what has become the
deprecated assistant_adp in Qt 4). The same goes for designer, linguist etc.
