That is exactly the intended behaviour. We would break the tree if we would
simply add the new functionality to the existing qt4.eclass. And in absence
of an eclass versioning mechanism, this is what we came up with. As soon
as existing ebuilds in the tree are ported over to qt4-r2, the old
qt4.eclass will
be removed.

Cheers,
