My opinion is that those packages should work out of the box on wayland,
and we shouldn't duplicate CI effort by having duplicate packages.
The qt 5 base package should probably include qtwayland-5 somehow,
although I don't really know if that is doable without cycles. We can
probably have a minimal package and one with qtwayland-5 included. I
don't think it is manageable to add qtwayland-5 to every single
application.
Best,
