I'm not sure what problem you are seeing here but I don't think that a missing
documentation generation tool will have any negative impact on binary-only
builds.

qttools itself is only using qdoc in its binary-arch-indep target why should
that be any different for any of the other Qt packages?

I'm not sure I understand this statement. If qdoc is not there in the first
place, how can it be removed?

The debian/rules file is already written such that it will not build any
documentation when DEB_HOST_ARCH != DEB_BUILD_ARCH, so unless Dmitry put
these statements there without any testing, I'm sure you can build qttools
without qdoc.

Working on it. Waiting for the build dependencies to get built.
