Dear Debian photoqt package maintainer,

Your package fails to build from source when building against zxing-cpp 3.0.0
(currently in Debian Experimental):


/build/reproducible-path/photoqt-4.9.2+ds/cplusplus/singletons/scripts/pqc_scriptsimages.cpp:68:10: fatal error: ZXing/ZXVersion.h: No such file or directory
   68 | #include <ZXing/ZXVersion.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make[3]: *** [CMakeFiles/photoqt.dir/build.make:4235: CMakeFiles/photoqt.dir/cplusplus/singletons/scripts/pqc_scriptsimages.cpp.o] Error 1

This is due to photoqt using deprecated headers of zxing-cpp, which was removed
in zxing-cpp 3.0.0+.

This issue has been reported upstream at https://gitlab.com/lspies/photoqt/-/issues/392 .

Thanks,
Boyuan Yang
