"I was quite clear: "qmake" must point by default to Qt 4 if Qt 4 present."
While qtchooser sounds like a great solution to handle this, it only adds more confusion from a packager view: we cannot have N differents configurations for qt when the users install our packages: qmake points to qt5, no matter which configuration the user did setup for qtchooser.
Also, every binary points to the latest version in Arch (e.g. python points to python3 not python2)

However all this discussion isn't related to Arch itself: I think that binaries with specific version takes precedence, don't they?
