-archdatadir "/usr/share/qt5" is in use, which successfully changed
the target directory of the mkspecs files. So the binary renaming was
done by manually patching .prf and .pro files (qtPrepareTool and
TARGET), similar to current Qt4 in Debian, but mkspecs locations were
handled by Qt itself via the configure switches.

So next up would be using the bindir to install the binaries to a
version specific libexec directory instead.
