I found the -use-debug-libs option to macdeployqt and with that the
executable in the dmg does have symbols and works on the machine I
build it on. But when I copy the dmg to another mac it fails with:

Library not loaded: @rpath/QtOpenGL.framework/Versions/5/QtOpenGL
  Reason: image not found

If I don't build the dmg with -use-debug-libs and copy the dmg to
another machine it does work. This seems like a bug in macdeployqt.
