Not "even more". Most distributions configure Qt 4 like so:
--prefix=/usr/lib/qt4 --bindir=/usr/bin
And in addition symlink, copy or rename qmake to qmake-qt4.
So they already patch Qt. What I'm asking is that they patch *less* now:
- configure Qt without --bindir
- drop a new file in a known location (/etc/xdg/qmake/qt4.conf)
- let the new qmake wrapper in /usr/bin/qmake
Also as consequences:
- moc, uic, rcc, lconvert, lupdate will no longer be in /usr/bin
- qdbus, qdbusviewer, designer, assistant, linguist, xmlpatterns,
xmlpatternsvalidator will not be in /usr/bin and they can't be because the
new applications from Qt 5 need to be there

This new proposal requires adaptations to the Qt 4 packages, indeed.
