Detailed analysis of the most interesting changes.

Create a independet deb packages. This features is very conveniently if you want to create server application. For example i need to create simple server for my simple game. And my steps:

build my application in the release mode.
run cqtdeployer with deb option.

cqtdeployer -bin mySimpleServer deb -qmake ~/Qt/5.15.2/gcc_64/bin/qmake

Ьy SimpleServer depends only on qt, so it was enough for me to specify only the path to qmake for my application.

It is all!!!. And i get the workly deb package.

So lets see what contains the generated deb package.
