Are you building against Qt5.5 on that Ubuntu system? If so, where is that
Qt 5.5 installation, how did it get there? If you can answer those
questions you know where your users will find their Qt 5.5 to use your
application.

You may find more answers to the question wether some repository exists for
Qt5.5 Ubuntu packages for Ubuntu 14.04 in an ubuntu forum/list as those
providing such packages are more likely to lurk around there.

Other options besides finding some repository would be linking your app
statically against Qt, shipping the Qt libraries in a special subdir and
using a shell script to setup the linker load path to include that
directory or you create and provide such debs yourself.
