Only the libraries that you wrote yourself and are part of the app. No qt
library should be in such a package, instead the package should have an
apropriate dependency onto whatever package is used in the distribution for
Qt (or other libs you've used).

If you have a static Qt build you can build your app statically against it,
IIRC its CONFIG += static but see the qmake manual for details.
