How does stable initially release with an ~deb12u1?

Qt WebView is deprecated upstream.  It was based on the same Apple WebKit 
source that WebViewGTK uses.  It was replaced quite a while ago by Qt 
WebEngine, which is based on Google’s Chromium.  There is no Qt 6 version of 
Qt WebView, so it will go entirely away at that point.

But this brings up an interesting question.  Why are the Qt source packages 
building private-dev binary packages?  There was probably some historical 
reason for doing so, but handling security support in stable would be a lot 
easier if we stopped shipping private headers that other packages can build-
depends on.  Perhaps Dmitry or Patrick could provide some background.
