I believe the foundational assumption that there is a lack of
alternative options is premature at best. The lack of runtime detection
is a bug that upstream says is fixed in Qt 4.7.1.

In general I think that prior to uploading an SRU, and in particular
before uploading an SRU like this that guarantees regression for some
users, it would be useful to have a conversation with the Ubuntu team
that does most of the maintenance work on a package.
