Do you put shared objects of qt beside your application or libraries ? Talking about debian-based distros, you may need a handy debhelper option that checks ldd result and choose which qt package to be included in dependency list. But this is not required in my opinion. You just need to put 3~10 packages in your dependency list. That is required only once per application/library, and a large variety of desktop application has similar sets of qt packages in their dependency list. So it should not be boring to do this stuff by hand ;) But if deployment is really problematic for you (on Windows) you can write a simple script (say perl or python) to parse ldd output (in the case that you're using GCC) and copy corresponding libs from path next to your application.
