Question about building QT for KDE

I'd like to build my own version of QT for KDE, and I noticed that the PKGBUILD in ABS checks out kde-qt git, creates a patch from 4.5.3 to 4.5.3-patched, then applies that patch to qt-4.5.3.  Is there some reason this is done instead of just building kde-qt 4.5.3-patched directly?  It seems to me it's the exact same thing.

Nevermind, I figured it out.  Yes, it is the same thing, though it turns out I don't actually need to build qt anyway...
