This change has been reverted by the maintainer according to the git log
on salsa [1].
The Qt build has been fixed then:

However, since then, the binary package libvtk6.3-qt seems to be empty
but it should contain the /usr/lib/*/*Qt*.so.* files. Another hint that
this is not intentional is that the libvtk6-qt-dev binary package is
correctly populated.

Please find attached the git patch that allows to fix this issue for
releasing bullseye.
