libqt-perl     3.008-2

It doesn't crash kde. /usr/share/debconf/frontend simply segfaults if
the frontend is set to Kde, regardless of it being run with or without
an existing DISPLAY. (yes, root does usually have access to it, but
anyway when it doesn't frontend used to fallback and warn about it)

Couldn't pinpoint exactly when it started happening, but it was when
upgrading to libc6-2.6.1-3, so it must roughly coincide with the
upload of that (see #441975)... Back then i pinned libc6 to 2.6.1-2
and didn't care much about it.. only now that it badly broke x.org
upgrade i looked into it and accidentally found out that changing the
frontend fixed it.
