I'm not sure the QPA symbols should be marked as private API. But maybe they 
should be.

Anyway, there's no tag. It really depends on the scanning done by the 
mkspecs/features/data/unix/findclasslist.pl. It is given the header list by 
mkspecs/features/qt_module.prf, which in turn uses the list creatd by 
syncqt.pl and stored in include/<modulename>/headers.pri.

The code in qt_module.prf does not take QPA into account. It assumes that a 
module only has private headers and non-private headers, which doesn't hold 
true for QtGui.

Try adding SYNCQT.QPA_HEADER_FILES to:

        for(header, SYNCQT.PRIVATE_HEADER_FILES): \
            verscript_content += "    @FILE:$${_PRO_FILE_PWD_}/$$header@"
