It's been some time since I did this kind of stuff, but I think you
*should* be able to pull the 5.11 only alongside the standard one that
comes from stable. It's true, however, that a lot of stuff is going to be
pulled alongside. It also means no metapackages, though, so I'd agree it's
a risk/work that's probably not worth it. I'd say building yourself is
probably faster/safer in that context (or even pulling it through the Qt
maintenance tool). Correct me if I'm wrong but also trying to "ignore" the
deps may work in some cases, depending on how far stable is behind testing.
