Well.. We can start listing the alternatives:
1. Hold a Qt upload to debian in 7 months until kde supports it, including
holding other apps who then will need it
2. Push it and hope for the best.
3. Maintain two coinstallable Qt editions.
3. is a no-go for reasons like "hacking two qt4 editions to be
coinstallable is just too much work and requires too ugly hacks".
"Security supporting one more copy of a web rendering engine is just
not something we will do"
1. is also a nogo. There is more than KDE in the world.
That leaves option 2.

No. There is a different possibility: Don't break with qt4.6, but also
don't use qt4.6 features.
kde4.3 + qt4.6 is also going to be a interesting combination.
