I would guess that the majority of bugfixes have already been backported to the Qt 5.6.1 builds in the stable phone overlay ppa?
https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/stable-phone-overlay It is quite some time since the original Qt 5.6.1 xenial-overbuilds we used in backports were copied over from their landing ppa, so I think Timo et al. have been quietly and industriously patching Qt bugs in that ppa since. For example, the timezone data fix you mentioned in IRC by Marcin: https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/stable-phone-overlay/+sourcepub/6883405/+listing-archive-extra Should these builds be ready to go, safe to update our backports ppa without the need for full scale rebuilds, I would favour this option over a wholesale Qt update.
