Hi Carlo! We have multiple issues here.

For a part of it, the real bug, is what #712264 "Does not depends on the 
binaries it masks" is about. I'm so merging this bug with the aforementioned 
one. Sadly this is wontfix.

Now let's take a look at the other part of your report.

If qtchooser is looking for /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qmake is because 
you might have qt4:i386 stuff installed. Run qtchooser -l to see which 
configurations you have at hand.

If you want to build qt4 stuff on amd64 you need libqt4-dev:amd64 installed.

This part is definitely not a bug but part of what qtchooser does. Feel free 
to ask in debian-kde@lists.debian.org or in #debian-kde if in doubt.

Kinds regards, Lisandro.
