Chicken, meet egg. It would be much easier if Qt didn't require using private API to do anything useful at this level. But here we are. Of course maliit isn't using Qt6 *yet* because in trying to do so, I came across this issue already reported in Debian, which I use as my main platform, and which has never presented such problem when developing these projects before. Had the necessary private development files already been available, we wouldn't even be having this discussion, and I would already have maliit-framework building on Qt6 (not least because I'm pretty sure I already did have it building as a quick experiment, but when revisiting this yesterday, discovered the private portion of qt6-wayland had been removed).
