Conflicts with earlier versions are frowned upon in policy (7.3). I
think the right thing to do would be to split all of the _debug.so
symlinks into a separate libqt4-debug-dev package. The current scheme
of lumping them all into libqt4-dev and not explicitly depending on
libqt4-debug is broken, I think.
Then, if you're going to build and link against the debug libs, you just
declare a build dependency on libqt4-debug-dev.
