QT_SELECT=qt5 is in /etc/environment on Touch, so the problem was that
apparently autopilot / phablet-test-run does not get to read
/etc/environment at any point.

I guess it might be worthwhile to read that as there are other
variables there too. But if that's not possible, then a quick google
would suggest os.environ['QT_SELECT'] = 'qt5' would work to set this
variable only?
