It was an open question as to whether Debian packaging would adopt the same 
strategy as Qt upstream, introducing the workaround in Qt, or mitigate the 
problem in the libmariadb3 packaging. I wonder, then, if the severity should 
be elevated since this regression potentially breaks numerous other packages.

Thanks,
