it really is a conflict; if qt4 is available the IDE will not run
[because it insists on using Qt4 over Qt5 if both are available, then
dies for lack of qt4-webkit]

I'm not sure about a transitional empty package: this wil lthen cause
weird errors with packages that rely on qt4,
instead they should break with a dependency (until they are upgraded to use qt5)
