I think changing the version to 6.0 is a sane option.  It'll leave it
visibly deprecated, it'll let someone defining the right macro [*] enable
that deprecation, but it won't inflict deprecation warnings on those who
just want to build with 5.15.

[*] IIUC, that'd be: -DQT_DISABLE_DEPRECATED_BEFORE=0x060001
