Just found this and I am unhappy about this outcome.

Currently, if you type "qmake" into the command line on a new (23.10)
Ubuntu with no qt, it says qmake is provided by the package qtchooser.

So I install qtchooser as recommended by Ubuntu, then I find out that
qtchooser is considered a dead project by Ubuntu and does not support
current qt. It's not obvious to me what the correct thing for Ubuntu
have done here is, but overall that's kind of weird.

I don't guess y'all have a way to flag, in that command line "executable
not found, try this package", that certain listed packages are
deprecated?

Title:
  QtChooser doesn't support qt6

Status in qtchooser package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  qtchooser doesn't run qt6 applications because it doesn't have a
  qt6.conf/6.conf file yet.

  In order to work, it must have two files `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-
  gnu/qtchooser/qt6.conf` and a `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-
  gnu/qtchooser/6.conf` with this content:

  
  ```
  /usr/lib/qt6/bin
  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
  ```

  Without it, lupdate, lrelease, and any other qt6 tools show this
  error: `could not find a Qt installation of ''`
