excuse me?
1: Debian respects KDEDIR if it were used. But even upstream doesn't use
it unless the user set's it.
2: QTDIR is respected if you set it.
3: FHS
4: I don't understand the problems you are having? I have never had a
problem building a KDE or a QT based application. If QTDIR needs to be set
all you have to do is export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt and be done with it. KDE
apps build out of the box without having to set a thing unless the application
author did something wrong.
