Full ack to this. It is my responsibility to make the packages work. But as its
the first time doing that, I need some more days to upgrade my dev environment.
I think it would be a good idea to have some different systems available to not
only check the installation procedure but the build process as well.

To setup a specific distribution into a VM only takes an hour or so. It is ok to
support my efforts, but I need the VMs anyway. So dont risk your own
installation.

That I used a debian-10 busty as my first debian environment, that has the
qt5.11 libs, was sheer coincidence. But, hey. No problem doing it again with a
mint 19.2 and mint 19.1 next. The VMs already up.
