What reverse dependencies?

Packages depending on qgpgme will automatically find the headers in the new 
location if they use the CMake config files that come with qgpgme to find qgpgme.

One benefit is that packagers don't have to wonder anymore whether the headers 
are/stay identical. We wouldn't even have this conversation if we had used 
separate folders since we added support for Qt 6.
