What do you mean with "the latest Debian"?

According to [1], Debian stable packages Qt 5.7.1 (which is not an LTS),
and testing/unstable both ship 5.11.1.

See [2]. The Qt 5.6 release was in March 2016, so it's in the
"very strict" phase since March 2018. As such, only critical things like
security issues are still fixed there.
