One other follow-up question: What's going to happen with the `qcollectiongenerator` shim with Qt 5.12? The qcollectiongenerator program was merged into qhelpgenerator. Will /usr/bin/qcollectiongenerator become an alias to qhelpgenerator? I'm asking because build scripts that work with multiple versions of Qt need to detect which program to call, and some of them do it by probing for the presence of qcollectiongenerator, and if it exists, using that.
