Jürgen, thanks a lot for your precise hint!
Building my deb-packages, including qgis-oracle-provider, on a
development-VM with the same architecture worked like a charm. I then
installed the necessary selection of these customly built packages on my
server and publishing of Oracle Spatial layers works like expected. Superb!
Next days I create an accordingly provisioned Vagrant configuration to
complete the whole task in minutes and keep up with updates.

For those of you who still get incomplete WMS getCapabilities- and
getMap-requests: check your apache log [1]. If you encounter errors like
"Premature end of script headers: qgis_mapserv.fcgi", then probably
something is wrong with your Oracle library paths. After installing
oracle-instantclient11.2-basic I had to add it to the system library as
described under "Integrate Oracle Libraries" [2].

Happy serving
Michi
