Yes and anyway qt4 will be removed from unstable soon and we can't wait
for an official release. So I'm working on packaging this branch but I
have 2 blocking issues:

1. This branch depends on the qt5 version of libmygpo-qt library which
need to be updated in Debian too [1].

2. This branch still depends on libqxt which will be removed from
unstable too because it is based on qt4 and unmaintained since 2014.
Clementine upstream basically patched and embedded some parts of this
library but we can't use that in Debian.

The first issue could be fixed be packaging the new version of
libmygpo-qt library which is compatible with qt5. Or by disabling the
GPO module.

The second issue is more complex because as upstream project is dead I
can't continue to maintain libqxt and port all the code to be compatible
with qt5. I think the best solution would be to patch Clementine to not
use libqxt anymore but some piece of qt5 code instead. I'm working on it.
