[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#874858: Please help switching edfbrowser to Qt5

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

I tried to switch edfbrowser[1] from Qt4 to Qt5 since upstream confirmed that
it builds with Qt5.  I tried the following patch:

Is there any hint to fix my very poor attempt (I have no experience with
Qt at all).

Kind regards
