Qt packages were uploaded, now they just need to be approved (as they are new src packages) before I can update the seeds. After the seeds are updated, we can spin an image with the right Qt for a working x86 emulator. There's only one remaining rendering issue in Unity8, but that will be investigated after the first image is officially out.
