As an additional note regarding zurl: Here, the porting to qt5 was done
with release 1.5.0, which is already in Xenial.

The changes between 1.5.0 and 1.5.1 are really minor. (Full diff
attached.)

For pushpin, it's true that 1.8.0 contains the port to qt5, so there are
quite some code changes.

As pushpin and zurl usually go together, having one depending on qt4 and
the other one depending on qt5 could needlessly bloat installations.
(Probably only relevant to dedicated servers, but especially with
containers this is a likely setup.)

Due to the nature of the changes, I consider it highly unlikely that the
update breaks something outside of the package itself.

Best regards,
Jan
