I'm maintainer of Qt. that should be sufficient. This issue makes it 
approximately 25% more work every time we introduce a new Qt version to the 
archive, because it relies on Qt *internals*, and packages that does that just 
requires more work for the Qt maintainers on each new update. And there is no 
reason for stellarium to actually give the Qt maintainers that extra work.

So please, pretty please, let's get it fixed fast.
