   I'm actually packaging stellarium for Qt6 and now I need QXlsx as its   
   dependency.   
      
   So my plan will now would be to introduce libqt6qxlsx entirely from   
   QtExcel/QXlsx   
   and given that stellarium seems to be the only one using the 5 version, I'd   
   leave it   
   be and likely eventually drop entirely.   
      
   Does it make sense to you, Pino? That's probably what you implied just below   
   anyway :).
