To compile this with qt6 we actually need to install qt6-scxml-dev, but I am not sure how to handle this in package.xml. Rviz only have qt5 in their package.xml even though they have supported qt6.... See more in ros2/rviz#1187 (comment)

edit: I cannot find this package in ros index https://index.ros.org/search_deps/?deps=qt6

That is, we can leave these as Qt5 dependencies for now, and then when we officially switch over, we can change these to Qt6 dependencies. For users of the other one (that is not officially supported), they can still build from source, they just won't be able to successfully run rosdep.

This is a near word-for-word explanation of what I would have said provided by Chris in that thread. I think this is done, thanks so much!
