I submitted https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-43604
about my problems.   I had not even tried debugging yet, but seems that 
you are right.   When looking at kits, it has a warning icon about "No 
debugger setup" and
in debuggers tab none are auto-detected.   I wonder if it could be setup 
manually...

I'm a bit surprised that WinRT support made it prominently to Qt 5.4 
release notes, given these problems.   But given that public support, 
now the problems should be addressed quickly, so I'm not complaining too 
loudly... :)
