 The dependence on `g++-multilib` only applies if you are on a 64bit system and want to cross-compile overlay support for 32bit applications as well
 (which is enabled by default). If you don't do this (`-Doverlay-xcompile=OFF` when invoking cmake), you also don't have to install `g++-multilib`.

+1. There is a problem with Opus, causing crashes on some systems. Disabling the bundled opus version when running cmake might be necessary for now:
+   `cmake -Dbundled-opus=OFF ..`
+2. Debian has dropped `qt5-default`, so individual packages are chosen instead. This also affects Ubuntu, as documented
+   [here](https://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg5902890.html).)
+3. _Also, see Ubuntu notes, which explain some things relevant to Debian builds._
