Nothing is wrong with that. In fact that's a great idea :)

So how about we place a dependencies.pri into the top-level directory of each 
module that contains just that one addModule(...) function call?

Then qt.pro can just include whatever is there, the CI can simply parse it and 
- this is different to today's status - the module dependencies are tracked 
within the module instead of in the external qt5.git.
