I've been using this PPA for Qt packages: https://launchpad.net/~beineri 
although there is no Qt 6 there yet. These packages install in /opt and 
don't conflict with the Debian/Ubuntu-provided Qt packages.

Despite them being for Ubuntu I have installed them on Debian bullseye, 
although I did recompile qtbase mostly to fix an SQL driver problem.
