Yes, this seems to be due to a hiccup in the buildds experimental dependency
solver, in the past the dependency solver tried to use the version in unstable
unless the required versions were only available in experimental, the new
solver used qt 5.6 even though the qt 5.5 version from unstable was enough to
fullfil the requiremens (this might sound simple, but it's a hard problem, and
it's something that has always brought headaches to packagers working with
experimental).

Is it possible to force buildd to use a specific QT version by adding the virtual qtbase-abi-5-5-1 (or qtbase-abi-5-6-0) packet as a build dependency to those packages that depends on QT?
