I am also interested in this issue since I think it may be related to why I am unable to install the IDE on OpenSUSE Leap 42.1.

Just for informational purposes since I do not wish to highjack this thread, the SPEC file from the OpenSUSE Build Service 
defines a "gb-qt5-ext" component as required for the IDE when not "with qt4". But, as far as I can tell, this component is not 
provided by the sources.

Hopefully a resolution to this issue on Debian will also provide a path to resolve the issue on OpenSUSE.
