I'm generating the tar.gz file via qmake; make; make dist - please tell
me if I need to create this readme file in this case or not?
(From debian-policy 4.14 I don't think so, but I'm still learning)

I will look into this, I'm hoping there is a qmake configuration option
to solve this.

I did look into git archive and dpgk- source options that were suggested
on irc, however I guess if users compile from scratch on non Debian
systems this source packaging with make dist could make it easier...
