I understand. I gave it that name to be at least distinct from the other qt6
packages. This can be changed to anything more suitable like qt6-android or
whatever.

It can't be duplicate to DFSG Qt source code as shipped by Debian because
these sources have been stripped down and some files/libraries that are needed
for the qt for android "variant" are missing. That's the case for 'sqlite' as
well as for 'freetype' and 'libpng' if I remember well. These libraries used
by Qt for Android are not shipped in Android NDK, so we have to build with
their source shipped in the qt sources. Hence the need of a distinct source
file.
You can follow a beginning of discussion on qt for android in [1]. Having a
distinct source archive seemed to be the favored option.
