Yes this is it.
We are willing to increase the minimum Qt version to allow using scoped
enums for flags (because it provides way better API documentation).
Increasing to 5.12 but 5.11+fix on debian would be enough for us.
It would be hard to justify not to support Buster (or to package Qt
ourselves).

I see this. The bug isn't that bad indeed, and explained above it's mainly
for documentation purpose we're looking to have it fixed.

I understand that. In any case, thanks a lot for giving it some time.
