Comment (by ryandesign):

 It is not customary to have ports with names ending with "upstream". We
 typically only have one port for the stable version. Sometimes, as with
 scribus, we offer a second port for a newer development version.

 Scribus is an unusual case because the project has taken a very long time
 between releases, to the point of not wanting to accept bug reports or
 fixes for the stable version.

 Upstream will release scribus 1.6.0 as the new stable version soon (the
 developer told me it would be this month), at which point customarily we
 would update the scribus port. That would make it use qt5 and cause
 problems for old systems that can't use qt5.

 If there is a desire to keep support for qt4 systems, then a different
 strategy should be used where we switch to versioned ports: scribus1.4,
 scribus1.6.
