Bug Description

[Impact] makespec files for qmake are missing making the package unuseable for development.

[Fix] install the makespec files

[Test Case]
apt-get source libqxt
cd libqxt-0.6.1/examples/web/
qmake
make

expected result: a successful build
real result: build error due to missing compiler flags, e.g.: fatal error: QxtHttpServerConnector: No such file or directory

[Regression Potential]
very low, no rdepends and only installs a few more files

original report:
After reading the qxt docs, I'm under the impression that (ideally) we can add the lines:
CONFIG += qxt
QXT += core gui
to a qt .pro file and have qmake automatically insert the relevant -I (upper-case i ) and -l (lower-case L) flags in the generated Makefile. This does not seem to be the case. Is qmake aware of the existence of qxt after installation?

I've also got problems with this. I found the problem, the mkspecs is missing in the -dev package.

AFAICT, this pretty much breaks the entire package, since (again AFAICT) nothing can use it in Oneiric as-is. Also, I failed to find a single package actually using libqxt.

I vote for SRU.
