Lisandro, Kevin, other packagers in the list:

May I suggest you get together and make a proposal? If you can get a patch 
into Gerrit, great. If not, then post the cmake command-line that Linux 
distributions will use. We need the distributions to be consistent with each 
other.

Post to this list what the Qt 6 Linux distributions packages will install and 
what the layout will be. Whether the default builds do the same or not is 
irrelevant. It's your choice and can go against the default build.

This is important for KDE Frameworks 6 and other software that mostly builds 
from distro packages will likely adopt for its reference documentation.
