yep, true.

ah, now i see. yes, you're absolutely right with this. but this has been the 
same for orth's packages, right? instead that you would have depended on 
+orth.

actually, i'm doing it a similiar way: i'm developing with these packages on 
my machine, but for release-builiding, i'm using a clean libqt from debian on 
some other machine.

hehe, yeah i understand. still: the only other option known to me is the one i 
just mentioned, i'm afraid.
