First of all, thanks a *lot* to you and Pino Toscano for working on this.
(Pino pushed some commits today if you haven’t seen them yet.)

The packaging mostly looks good. Here are some minor comments from me:

- Please run wrap-and-sort before uploading.
- dh-exec build-dependency seems unused.
- In debian/qmake6.links, the comment should probably be qmake -> qmake6,
  not vice versa.
- Did you consider using qt6-base-abi (= 6.Y.Z) instead of qtbase-abi-6-Y-Z?
  This is a relatively new feature (first appeared in Policy 4.4.0).

Also, just for your interest, Qt 6.2.0 RC 2 was released yesterday:
https://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2021-September/041823.html

Eventually we will want to ship 6.2.0, and this release is much closer to it
than 6.1.2. But of course uploading 6.1.2 is also fine.
