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.
