Thanks for bringing this up! I do not use qtcreator myself, so I could
not notice this bug.
This is a difficult issue for two reasons:
1) It affects all submodules, not just qt3d (we have 31 *-doc-html
packages at the moment).
2) Currently our .install files for the *-doc-html look very simple
and basically install everything under /usr/share/qt5/doc/{MODULE}.
To fix this, we need to explicitly list all files we want to install,
except the examples-manifest.xml files, which should go to -examples.
This is manual work, and it is easy to miss some such files.
I wonder if it will be better to simply make the *-examples packages
recommend the *-doc-html packages. (Not depend because the examples
can be run without qtcreator.) What do you think about this?
I am currently on vacation so I will be able to work on this not
earlier than in two weeks. But hopefully we can get this fixed before
Qt 5.12 reaches unstable.
