No, this won't be added to meta-qt5 layer, because it's not the right fix.

If you're happy with empty packages, then you don't need meta-qt5 at all.

Empty packages are useless and bitbake is right not to create them.

My guess is that you don't have all necessary PACKAGECONFIGs enabled for
qtbase.
