It's the upstream name. For whatever reason, Trolltech has chosen
different names for each major release:
Qt1: qt
Qt2: qt-x11
Qt3: qt-x11-free
Qt4: qt-x11-opensource
Qt5 will probably be qt-x11-foss or qt-x11-freeasinspeech or something
equally annoying.

I was thinking about naming it qt4-x11, but I'm not sure it's worth
deviating from upstream.
