I don't see your point. That software is dead since years, no bugs are being 
fixed (because yes, there are still bugs) let alone security (what about that 
mess called QtWebKit?). By this reasoning we should have also kept Qt 3 and 
KDE3 in the distro.

Not as far as I know, although the changes for most applications aren't that 
large. When I ported my own application it didn't take much as far as I 
remember.

Doesn't scribus offer a Qt5 version now? Probably not yet promoted to stable, 
but it exists.
