There are 5 failures left in Debian to take care of from what I know:
* qtcreator: We split a package into 2 and qtcreator needs to build-
depend on both. This cannot be fixed until Qt 6.6 is in unstable. Since
the package is maintained in our team, I can fix it myself.
* qcoro: Build results in symbol errors and can only be fixed once it is
built against 6.6. The package is maintained in our team, so we'll take
care of that.
* pyotherside: FTBFS against Qt >= 6.5, but a patch is available. I
filed a bug against the package and set it as blocking this transition.
* dolphin-emu: FTBFS indepedently of the Qt version, see
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1064753. The package
has already been removed from testing, so that should not be a problem.
* gpsbabel: We encountered test failures when we did the test build. It
is likely that this was due to build environment as I could not find any
problems at all for this package when building against Qt 6.6.
I should mention that Ubuntu has successfully transitioned to Qt 6.6
recently.
