Hmm. dewalls is used by cavewhere which is also destined for Debian and also uses QBS. Cavewhere also uses qmath3d, plotsauce and lib-qt-qml-tricks, all of which build with QBS. https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2016/09/msg00001.html Upstream is a big fan of QBS and really doesn't like CMake so getting him to change could be tricky. So if I'd finished packaging/uploading cavewhere there would be 5 QBS-using packages in the archive. I have done most of that work, but there remain some wrinkles which is wqhy t's not yet uploaded. I could leave them all as embedded libraries of cavewhere, but was avoiding that as it's generally deemed poor form. I'll ask upstream what their plans are, but right now I would have a significant issue with QBS being removed as it blocks uploading of cavewhere which is something I've put a lot of work into over the last year or two.
