Well, by build with submodule tarballs [1], Qt5 will split into various
packages:
  qtbase, qtsvg, qtx11extras, etc.
The current monolithic qt package will be deprecated.

It seems that some hacks are needed, basically:
  - when build:
    Make a 'qt.conf' and union the releated 'lib' and 'mkspecs' for
    qmake.  Should do in 'qmake-build-system'.
    FYI: nixpkgs's recipes [2] and qmake reference [3].
=20=20=20=20
  - when run:
    Set 'QT_PLUGIN_PATH' and other variables with wrapper and/or
    profile envs.

And I believe this have to be done if we want to package KDE5,
since KF5 is a set of plugins for Qt.
