Bug Description

Previous 20.10 version has the qt5-default package in place (see https://packages.ubuntu.com/groovy/qt5-default ).

Please upload the qt5-default package for 21.04 Ubuntu version.

What is interesting - all its dependencies can be simply installed with `sudo apt-get install qtbase5-dev qtchooser qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev-tools` .

Qt 4 was removed, Qt 5 is now default, so that package is no longer needed.

But the package name says `qt5-*`. Are the `qt6-*` packages for Qt 5 ?!?

The problem is that without a default package, how does one install all the runtime libraries without installing all the dev stuff ?

So far I've found that installing this

"sudo apt install qt5-gtk-platformtheme qttranslations5-l10n libqt5core5a libqt5dbus5 libqt5gui5 libqt5network5 libqt5svg5 libqt5widgets5 libqt5x11extras5 libqt5sql5 libqt5sql5-sqlite libqt5test5 libqt5xml5 libqt5printsupport5 libqt5serialport5 libqt5opengl5"

So, without all the -dev packages

It would be nice to have a single package name to remember for all of this

The idea is that you install some application that you want to use, and it pulls the library packages as dependencies.
