The rationale of working out scenarios is to have a course of action if a 
similar situation arises (not necessarily with Qt or another PR). As I 
mentioned previously, I agree with Niels that this is more a packaging than a 
PR1.1/1.2 (delay) issue, PR1.2 will just make the symptoms temporarily go 
away. In other words, do not bother with PR1.1 but bother with how you 
package your packages :)
