OK.  If this is common, then perhaps the decision to require Qt 4.4.0
for BT 2.0 was unfortunate.  But I'm just a packager...

I'm somewhat surprised that people stick with LTS on the desktop.
Commonly used packages like OpenOffice have been radically updated since
then, for instance.  As have GCC and most other development tools, and
KDE, among other things, if your staff are doing development work.

Maybe someone really will have to backport Qt 4.4.x to hardy?
