To clarify:

 - I’m not for a moment suggesting you dist-uprgade, more that you treat Qt like OSG or Plib, since the distro version is archaic :)

- I’m also not suggesting bleeding edge, that would mean Qt 5.7 or even 5.8 :) 

We do need to figure out a solution for people in your situation, probably some extension to download-and-compile to grab and build the subset of Qt needed; this would also allow me to use a higher version if needed (the critical feature I need was added in 5.4, but I think had some bug-fixes that went into 5.5)

Kind regards,
James
