Ah, this explains things. Ok, so here's what you can do. There's a way 
to specify random files for deployment with your application. It works 
like this:

     # Deploy my custom files
     deployQt.sources = <File paths>
     deployQt.path = <CE path on device>
     DEPLOYMENT += deployQt

     # Deploy MSVC run-times for CE
     deployRT.sources = <VisualStudio>/vc/ce/dll/*/ms*.dll
     deployRT.path = <CE path on device>
     DEPLOYMENT += deployRT

So, if you put something like this in your .pro file:

     # Deploy my custom files
     deployQt.sources = <QTDIR>/libs/Qt*.dll
     deployQt.path = \Windows
     DEPLOYMENT += deployQt

     # Deploy MSVC run-times for CE
     deployRT.sources = <VisualStudio>/vc/ce/dll/armv4i/ms*.dll
     deployRT.path = \Windows
     DEPLOYMENT += deployRT

It should deploy what you need.
Feedback on how it works out for you much appreciated! :-)
