Technically, you will not be "installing" anything. You will be copying
some files, which happen to be the Qt library files, to some system

In fact this turns out to be quite easy if you use CMake as the build
system, CPack to generate the Debian packages with the binaries and the
BundleUtilities.cmake module to get all the binaries and prerequisites
together.

(it uses GetPrerequisites.cmake internally)
