PySide, Qt and source under LGPL

Hi all.
PySide6 can, of course, be used under the terms of LGPL. One of the conditions of using the library under these terms is providing the source code (this appears to apply even if you're using an unmodified version simply installed using pip). My question, though, is does anyone know whether the source for Qt would also need to be included here? Initially I thought not, since it's being used indirectly, but now I'm thinking that it probably does.
That does then raise the question about including licences for dependencies of dependencies, though...

Hi,
WARNING: I am not a lawyer.
You shall provide the sources of Qt upon request. There's no need to distribute them along in the same package as your application although you could.
