unnecessary -dev dependencies

[Boruch-Baum]

Hi Moshe. I've been using your Orayta on and off on my systems now for I think at least 10 years! Thanks so much.

Just now, on a new debian machine, I manually downloaded the orayta{,-books} deb files from your ubuntu ppa from year 2019 and installed the using dpkg -i. I received errors due to package Qt5-default not being installed, which is curious to me because I thought that package was only for development. So, I ignored the error, and orayta seems to work fine so far without it.

I looked in the deb package control file and see that the dependency is hard-coded there. is it really necessary?

BTW, I've also successfully installed an old orayta apk into an instance of waydroid with no problem.

Glad to hear the old .deb packages still work!

The books package doesn't depend on any Qt libs )https://github.com/MosheWagner/Orayta-Books/blob/master/debian/control)

And Orayta-Qt package naturally depends on Qt5-default, as it is the runtime lib for the UI. Not sure how the UI can load without it...

I guess debian has Qt libs installed by default. (I think i read that Ubuntu had them)
