Hi,

While I agree failing to show a friendly message is a bug, I'm not sure
whether it fits the definition of grave (“makes the package in question
unusable or mostly so”). I'll try to investigate how easy it is to show
something friendlier -- I honestly don't know, and it would probably require
poking a bit around into Qt implementation details. At that point, it will
be up to the release team to see if they will accept an upload to stretch to
fix this bug.
