I have libglx0 and libopengl0 [1], but I'm not sure where they came 
from. AFAICT they are in the normal mint/ubuntu repos. The home page 
listed below contains just the source, not a .deb package.  The only 
custom repos in /etc/apt/sources.list.d point to my own stuff (like 
qtpovray).

The Qt >= 5.11 is problematic.  That is way too new to be in any debian 
distros. Baldy is Mint 19.1 with QT 5.5.  I am Mint 19.2 (newest 
version, 2 months old) and that is QT 5.9.

Simbad, my reading of
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debmake-doc/ch08.en.html#cmake-single
says you ran some cmake command which generated the debian folder, then 
you ran something else to build the .deb.  You should edit the 
debian/control file and remove the versions from the dependencies and 
try to let the packager figure it out.
You run the risk of using a qt5 feature newer than 5.5, but it's a low 
risk.  I had a couple of issues solved like this:
https://github.com/dickbalaska/qtpovray/blob/qtpovray/qt/gui/editor/codeeditor.cpp#L114

qtpovray's control looks like this:
https://github.com/dickbalaska/qtpovray/blob/qtpovray/debian/control

I find it mush easier to keep the debian folder around as a native part 
of the source tree rather than continually recreating and editing them.

Another example is, your icons aren't quite right. These need to move:
hi16-app-kpovmodeler.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/povmodeler.png
hi22-app-kpovmodeler.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/povmodeler.png
hi32-app-kpovmodeler.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/povmodeler.png
hi48-app-kpovmodeler.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/povmodeler.png

and then in your povmodeler.desktop the icon reference is just 
povmodeler.  You can either hack debian/rules to move and rename them, 
like this:
https://github.com/dickbalaska/slyther-debian/blob/master/rules
or just reorg them in the source tree, and reference them normally.
