dhcocd-ui is dead in the water and Qt4 - no commit since 2014. So it must be
fixed for usage with Qt5 - Qt4 and Qt5 mixed is uncool - and not exactly
lightweight.

qupzilla deoend on QtWebengine - which is basically a outdated chromium.
Security support?

Audacious is packed in debian with qt support - but one can consider both
functionality and packaging for Qt only at least beta.

best bet is system-config-printer - but it is GTK, no Qt port, unless
one port
the KDE KCM Module

Juffed is Qt5

There is a reason why Trojita is not in debian yet. Unstable and can only
send not encrypted mails - receiving encrypted mails works fine with
latest git

qps is right now the only available choice in Qt 5
