Wheezy is still supported through Debian LTS for the next year.

I have a setup that automatically can depend upon a choice from debian/rules.
It's hackishly, but so far has been working good to either build the MATE
bindings against GTK+ 2 or 3.

I guess I will employ the same scheme here as well.

Yeah, but there's no current RPM-based distro we still support that doesn't have
Qt5, IIRC. We can switch to Qt5 unconditionally there I guess.
