Bug Description
(this is an after-the-fact mir)
Availability: in main amd64 armhf i386 powerpc
Rationale: qtchooser is the new upstream recommended tool being adopted by Debian and Ubuntu for handling co-installation of development executables for multiple Qt versions. It replaces the earlier Debian/Ubuntu approach of patching sources to add "-qt4" like suffixes and using the alternatives system to switch between them. It is depended now upon by libqt4-dev - via qt4-default - in order not to break any existing packages.
Security: No known security history.
QA: No outstanding bug reports https:/
Dependencies: All dependencies are in main.
Maintenance: Currently by me, as part of the Debian KDE packaging team. qtchooser itself is an extremely small program, unlike Qt.
Other: See man qtchooser (submitted to upstream) for usage instruction. The most usual use case is installing qt5-default or qt4-default to provide a default configuration in which case qtchooser "disappears" from the user.

Looks fine. I assume Debian is getting this same package soon? Would be nice to see a bug subscriber.
I pushed an update that enables running the tests during build.
