There's already the configure option -qtnamespace to put all of Qt into 
a custom namespace. Packagers could use this even today.
Using this feature for Linux distros is probably not feasible, because 
most projects are not prepared [1] for being compiled against a 
namespaced Qt.

1: It's easy to refit a project for qtnamespace. For example, one must 
wrap forward declared Qt classes between QT_BEGIN_NAMESPACE / 
QT_END_NAMESPACE.
