Thank you Johnny for the insight! Looking at the license for qml-box2d, I don't see any reason that it shouldn't be included in Debian, but considering how late we are into the Buster release cycle, I don't think we can get it in the repos in time for Buster? In any case, I think this bug should be reclassified as a missing dependency.
