Thanks for explaining the 4.4 dependency. It would be useful to tell 
about this Qt version and backport repository in the packaging wiki page.

It's true that there are users who can't or don't want to update the 
whole distro but would still like to use the latest software. We should 
remember that when doing dependency decisions. For example, if we 
replace boost with a Qt class. It may have far reaching consequences for 
some end users.
