As far as I understand r1023024, the check here was added to allow to require a higher version than kdelibs does, e.g. today an application could require Qt 4.8.2, e.g. because of bugs with older Qt versions, while kdelibs itself just mandates 4.8.0.

Also, if you compile your program against Qt 4.5 you can get missing symbols when running it, because kdelibs was linked against Qt 4.8. See also r927156.

On the other hand, if we allowed that before, we can keep it. I just had the impression it was simply forgotten to be updated.
