Hi Helmut! Now I am working on packaging Qt 5.14, so I am returning to this bug.

Let's repurpose this bug then. Notably: The package > doesn't have to be real. Virtual packages work as well for this purpose. As we discussed on IRC, a separate package won't help much, as it cannot declare a dependency on qt5-qmake:native anyway. The :native qualifier only makes sense in Build-Depends. Also, I figured out that lrelease (lrelease-pro in new Qt) does not actually need *native* qmake, the cross qmake works as well. We just need to specify QMAKE environment variable that it honors: https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qttools.git/tree/src/linguist/lprodump/main.cpp?h=v5.14.1#n439 As I just demonstrated in https://bugs.debian.org/889752#10, this approach works. So I propose to close this bug and export QMAKE to qmake cross wrapper in the affected packages instead. -- Dmitry Shachnev
