Hi Jussi,
Thanks for the bug report.

Lintian reports an error for depending on metapackages. One of them is
qt5-default. Depending on it causes errors such as this one:
https://lintian.debian.org/maintainer/jpakk...@gmail.com.html#meson
However if you remove qt5-default from the list of dependencies and
just add those packages that it depends on, trying to build packages in
pbuilder fails with the following error message (from memory, might not
be exact):
moc: can not find installation of Qt in ''
This happens whether or not you have qtchooser in your package
dependencies.
IANA Qt expert, but my understanding is that meson should pass the
"-qt5" option to "moc" and friends; then the error will go away.
Given this it seems like qt5-default should be removed from the list of
metapackages Lintian warns about or the packaging of Qt5 needs to be
changed so that their build tools work in pbuilder when qt5-default is
not installed.
qt*-default was added after to the list of metapackages after a request
from a prominent Qt/KDE team member, who probably knew what he was
doing. :-) https://bugs.debian.org/756158
But admittedly, currently the tag description is outdated and not really
helpful. :-(
