Comment(by dluke@…):

 I don't think we have any other ports that do it that way (but I don't
 think there are really any other ports really like Qt either).

 It's been a few years since I did anything with Qt, but if I remember
 correctly, the debug port would only need to install the debug versions of
 the libraries (it may have to build everything again, install it in the
 destroot and then you'll have to remove it post-destroot like the
 subversion bindings ports used to do, though).

 The big downside to two ports is usually that it makes it harder for you
 to maintain (since you have to update two ports), and it tends to require
 more time to build (since you often end up re-building stuff that isn't
 going to be installed). It does end up working much better for the end-
 user, though - so the tradeoff is usually worth it.
