Any Qt package should include `wrapQtAppsHook` in `nativeBuildInputs`, or explicitly set `dontWrapQtApps` to bypass generating the wrappers.

Graphical Linux applications should also include `qtwayland` in `buildInputs`, to ensure the Wayland platform plugin is available.

The same goes for Qt 5 where libraries and tools are under `libsForQt5`.

Qt 6 graphical applications should also include `qtwayland` in `buildInputs` on Linux (but not on platforms e.g. Darwin, where `qtwayland` is not available), to ensure the Wayland platform plugin is available.
