Thanks for the suggestion. I have decided to wontfix this request. As I understand it, qt has officially blessed cmake as the new replacement for qmake now. While qmake is still supported, I expect it to dwindle in popularity over time. Also, given that no one (including the past and present debhelper maintainer) has stepped up to get the issues clarified and a patch written for this bug, it seems unlikely it will happen before cmake replaces qmake. If a well tested patch appear, I am open to reconsider the wontfix. Thanks, ~Niels
