For Debian stable, I got most of the required Qt5 build-depends by installing the build-depends of the Qt4 source package, then following up by iterating epa_builds to get the extra ones needed for the epa_build of Qt5. But I think the whole deal could be completed by just one "apt-get build-dep" command for you with no further iterations required since the Debian unstable version of Qt5 is virtually identical to what is used by epa_build.
