That is the fallback code path.
The primary code path is retrieving this information from qttools5-dev's
Qt5HelpConfigExtras.cmake which has it set to
"${_qt5Help_install_prefix}/lib/qt5/bin/qcollectiongenerator".

As I said before in #915122, the correct fix is:
- Cherry-picking commit [1] for extra-cmake-modules or updating it to 5.53.0.
- Making all affected packages build-depend on qttools5-dev.
Dear Maximiliano (Cc-ed), I noticed that you updated the packaging to 5.53.0
in Git. Are you going to upload it to sid? If no, can you please cherry-pick
the mentioned commit, or will you mind if I do it myself?
