Thanks about this explanation, hope this will be solved by upstream in
future releases.

Unfortunately it can not be fixed in Debian. To achieve headless-ness
upstream statically link with customised QT + Webkit. We don't want to ship
forks of those projects. It would be great to eventually convince upstream to
use standard libraries.
Meanwhile you can use "xvfb-run" from "xvfb" package.
I'll update README.Debian to include a note about that.
