--- Comment #1 from Ralf Jung <post at ralfj.de> ---
Note that this problem is not at all Debian-specific. Every distribution
supporting qt4 and qt5 will have to put the Qt binaries somewhere outside
/usr/bin, and put the qtchooser binaries in /usr/bin so that qtchooser can
figure out which version of Qt to use. No matter how distributions decide to
handle this, the current version of startkde will break their setup and
circumvent qtchooser by adding the folders with the Qt4-specific binaries to
PATH.

Why is the Qt binary path added to PATH in the first place? Is anything in
there a run-time dependency of KDE? I thought these were development tools
only, and why should KDE force the user to do Qt development only with the
version of Qt the currently running session was compiled with?
