Public bug reported:

(this is an after-the-fact mir)

Availability: in main amd64 armhf i386 powerpc

Rationale: qtchooser is the new upstream recommended tool being adopted
by Debian and Ubuntu for handling co-installation of development
executables for multiple Qt versions. It replaces the earlier
Debian/Ubuntu approach of patching sources to add "-qt4" like suffixes
and using the alternatives system to switch between them. It is depended
now upon by libqt4-dev - via qt4-default - in order not to break any
existing packages.

Security: No known security history.

QA: No outstanding bug reports
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qtchooser. Not yet uploaded in
Debian because of the release happening although the packaging Ubuntu
used is there.

Dependencies: All dependencies are in main.

Maintenance: Currently by me, as part of the Debian KDE packaging team.
qtchooser itself is an extremely small program, unlike Qt.

Other: See man qtchooser (submitted to upstream) for usage instruction.
The most usual use case is installing qt5-default or qt4-default to
provide a default configuration in which case qtchooser "disappears"
from the user.
