Package: libqt5gui5
Version: 5.5.1+dfsg-2
Severity: normal

If libqt5xcbqpa5 is not installed, applications fail to start with:
| This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb".
|
| Available platform plugins are: linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen.
|
| Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Instead of recommeding to reinstall, it should tell the user to instlal
libqt5xcbqpa5.

That message comes from Qt internals which don't know anything about Debian.
As part of our team policy we do not patch this kind of things, so this is a
wontfix.
