I actually did some work on that and sent an email about this on Sept/8th.
https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/pkg-kde-talk/2021-September/
003285.html

It explains the state of the project that is available at:
https://salsa.debian.org/bastif/qt-android

If you answer, could you add the Android team in CC? I forgot adding them in 
my email.
android-tools-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org

If we can keep sqlite and some other requirerd libs in the package, I think it 
could be fine. There is not problem removing the RFC and other elements 
already removed, but sqlite is needed.

Ok. What would be best: adding a binary package for qt-android in each 
submodule of the qt packaged (source package) already in Debian, or have a new 
source package dedicated to this? I think the 2nd is better because it allows 
to ship versioned qt-android packages (eg. qt-android-5.12, qt-
android-5.15...). This would be better since developers may need a specific 
version.
