In version 2.82, they removed support for qt4 and replaced it with qt5 support only.
But in the upcoming version, 2.83, qt4-support has been readded, when transmission 2.83 reaches the repos, can we please have a transmission-qt4 and transmission-qt5 package?
This task depends upon

Why would we have both? What's the advantage of the qt4 version over the qt5 version? (I honestly don't know...)

Well because qt5 doesn't integrate well with KDE4, theme for example. That's why it was readded support for qt4.

And I don't like the fact that I need qt5 for just one application. Qt5 support only shouldn't be endorsed before "kde 5" which is based on qt 5 is out and mature enough.
