It will however cause bugreports to pop up because qttools5-dev-tools’
content will not be the same across architectures (and, as it would
affect only d-ports architectures, likely ignored).
Perhaps splitting off qdoc into a separate package could help?
(Incidentally, that would make qdoc available on at least x32 by
foreign Multi-Arch as it could just run the i386 or amd64 version.
Of course not on the buildds, and this is no general solution for
other architectures, but users could use that. It’s not a priority,
of course.)
Another option might be to ask upstream whether there’s a chance
to support qdoc on non-llvm/clang architectures, perhaps a variant
of the last version to not require it.
After all, this does not only affect “obscure” platforms but also
new ones in general, such as arm64 for a while, riscv64 for now,
and porting LLVM is quite the task (GCC would already exist at the
point of them being added to Debian, but there are much more worthy
targets than LLVM in regards to making available, such as OpenJDK
and even GHC…).
