Hi. Thanks for the good thoughts, they clarify things well. I think I'd be fine with both qtchooser not handling qdbus and binary moving away from multi-arch directory. Although the direct /usr/bin/qdbus symlink would be problematic since the executable inside qdbus-qt5 package is still called just 'qdbus' like the Qt4 version, and it should be allowed to be used.

Crucially though, I'd like to have the same solution as Debian will have, and I haven't yet had the time to bring the topic fully to them (via #debian-qt-kde @ OFTC). If I remember correctly it was very briefly thought about, mainly the first question was that why would anyone want to install/use the 32-bit versions (but of course, lack of support in qtchooser for that is still an omission). The related Debian git:s are http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-kde/qt/qtchooser.git;a=summary , http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-kde/qt/qttools.git;a=summary (qdbus-qt5) and http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-kde/qt/qtbase.git;a=summary (configuration of bindir).
