Agustin,
You are correct that there are currently two copies in Debian, one that comes with the Qt 5 packages and the other that comes with the Qt 6 packages.
Can one of the Debian Qt/KDE maintainers weigh in on the feasibility of either creating a meta package that depends on the most recent package that includes qwebengine_convert_dict or creating an unversioned package that installs qwebengine_convert_dict? Also, either having qwebengine_convert_dict being installed in an unversioned location or having a symlink that is unversioned? That would make it easier for Hunspell language packages to build-depend on qwebengine_convert_dict and wouldn’t require reworking all of those packages’ build scripts every time the version of Qt in Debian changes.
Regarding qwebengine_convert_dict expecting the .dic as a file entry, I am not certain I understand what you are referring to. This is how it builds on my Debian testing system. The .dic file must be in the same directory as the .aff, but it isn’t specified (or at least doesn’t need to be specified) as a file entry.
$ /usr/lib/qt5/bin/qwebengine_convert_dict en_US.aff en_US.bdic
en_US.dic_delta not found.

Writing en_US.bdic
Success. Dictionary converted.
