What do you think of splitting qdoc into a separate package? This way the packages that need it might explicitly build-depend on that package and dep-wait instead of getting build failures on some architectures. Also we will be able to use the Architecture: field and a proper install file instead of this hack in debian/rules. If you want we can upload the patch as-is now and then do a follow-up upload to the NEW queue introducing the new package. (Or maybe we can add Provides: qt5-qdoc [arch1 arch2…] which should be the same with regards to Build-Depends: field of other packages. But I like splitting more.) -- Dmitry Shachnev
