[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#806500: quassel-client: Client configuration is world readable and contains password in plain text

Package: quassel-client
Version: 1:0.12.2-2
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole

As I was trying to setup CertFP I had a look at
~/.config/quassel-irc.org and noticed the following:
-rw-r--r-- 1 diederik diederik 8101 nov 28 03:01 quasselclient.conf

Looking into that file I could easily see my password and that combined
with the security settings of that file did not make me happy.
