We would like to make Qt 5 default, but unfortunately this will break lots of legacy Qt 4 code. So we cannot do that soon, maybe in future...

The fallback mechanism exists (in qtchooser 52-gae5eeef and newer versions), but only for some tools: <https://code.qt.io/cgit/qtsdk/qtchooser.git/tree/src/qtchooser/main.cpp#n528>. qdbus is one of them, so if you have qdbus-qt5 installed, qtchooser will use it even if you have no qt5-default package installed. If that is not the case, please let us know your qtchooser version and the console output.
