Dear maintainers,

could you please put Qt Designer as well as Qt Linguist in separate
packages qt5-designer and qt5-linguist resp. (similar to qt5-assistant and
qdoc-qt5) and then lower the dependencies to 'Recommends: qt5-assistant,
qt5-designer, qt5-linguist'. The hard dependency on qt5-assistant would be
moved to both new packages in turn.
Next to the linguist executable, package qt5-linguist should also include
its companions like lrelease, lupdate, etc., the corresponding man pages,
the phrase books, the Linguist pixmap icon and its application desktop
file. So its dependencies would then just look like this for instance:

Versions of packages qt5-linguist depends on:
ii  libc6                             2.28-10
ii  libqt5core5a [qtbase-abi-5-11-3]  5.11.3+dfsg1-1+deb10u4
ii  libqt5gui5                        5.11.3+dfsg1-1+deb10u4
ii  libqt5printsupport5               5.11.3+dfsg1-1+deb10u4
ii  libqt5widgets5                    5.11.3+dfsg1-1+deb10u4
ii  libqt5xml5                        5.11.3+dfsg1-1+deb10u4
ii  libstdc++6                        8.3.0-6
ii  qt5-assistant                     5.11.3-4
ii  qtchooser                         66-2

For qt5-designer, this would be alike.

Thank you in advance!
