Thank you Robert for you explainations. I appreciate you efforts to keep Ubuntu as stable as possible.

However this case is special. You can't not treat the current repository version as stable. It is basically a untested 2.2 alpha with a wrong version number, that slipped into the Debian repros by an accident and pulled here.

I am just asking to revert this accident and replace it with either 2.1 build with Qt4 or 2.2 with QT5. Both versions where been sorrowly tested and can be treated as stable.

It is fatuos to to explain here every thing left issue we have fixed when porting to Qt5. I have already linked the tracked bugs above.
It would be much more risky to backport all these and more fixes into 2.1, which would be still an untested alpha.

The best user experience would be to switch to 2.2 because this does not involve installing whole Qt4. 2.2 is our Qt5 release the mentioned bugfixes plus additional changes linked above.

During the release you have followed Debian, they have fixed the issue by upgrading to 2.2
 So it is reasonable to follow them again. Downgrading Qt with 2.1 would be also work for me.

I there anything left to do for me here? Who is the responsible package maintainer?
