The people building Qt generally know what they're doing. Either
they're working on Qt (or things using Qt) - either case of which
really requires debug information, or they're packagers - in which
case, the debug info is also useful, as they split it out themselves.

Most people plain using Qt and not caring about the internals just
install it through a package manager.
