I asked the packagers.

They said they don't want to create the -private-dev packages if they can 
avoid it, since it is too tempting for other packagers to use them. Since Qt 
does not offer API/ABI stability in the private headers, anything that depends 
on -private-dev must be rebuilt whenever Qt changes anything.

They're too few people to keep track of this and it takes too much resource 
(one week to rebuild everything -- remember that Debian supports some 
platforms for which there's no fast hardware).

But he did confirm that they do not patch them, so they should match the tag 
from the Qt repositories.
