On earlier versions of Ubuntu 21.04 some libraries (e.g.: Qt5QmlModels) won't be deployed even requesting their installation, it requires to build the dependencies, updating the install documentation accordingly.

I've got this warning during the QML building on Ubuntu 20.04 and ofc the bitcoin-qt executable wasn't available when it finished:
configure: WARNING: Qt5QmlModels >= 5.11.3 not found; bitcoin-qt frontend will not be built

hebasto helped me to find the solution and after performing the above, managed to get it installed, up and running.

Concept ACK.

More general @jarolrod's suggestion looks nice as not only Ubuntu distro can be affected (Debian-based ones?).

Confirmed this with Ubuntu 20.04. The note is useful here for first time builders of the GUI.
