Thanks a lot for putting this into our attention! The first thing here is to 
note that this bug seems to be present in Qt4 too so I'm cloning the bug.

I'm afraid we do:

<https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=include+%3CQXmlSimpleReader
%3E&perpkg=1>

Granted, we need to distinguish between Qt4 and Qt5 users of it.

What's not clear to me from Thiago's mail is if this bug is still present in 
Qt >= 5.5 or he's referring to another corner case.

Can you clarify this?
