>> +#MISSING: 2.6+2.0.8+dfsg-1# _ZN7QVectorI6QPointE11reallocDataEii6QFlagsIN10QArrayData16AllocationOptionEE at Base 2.6~alpha

c++filt -n decodes this to

QVector<QPoint>::reallocData(int, int, QFlags<QArrayData::AllocationOption>)

This looks like an instantiation of a QT template that may or may not be included in the library as a seperate
symbol depending on whether it gets in-lined or not. So I believe it should be marked as (optional=templinst)

These are marked as optional already, so although they show up in the log they won't actually cause a failure.

>> +#MISSING: 2.6+2.0.8+dfsg-1# _ZN7QVectorIdE11reallocDataEii6QFlagsIN10QArrayData16AllocationOptionEE at Base 2.6~alpha

c++filt -n decodes this to

QVector<double>::reallocData(int, int, QFlags<QArrayData::AllocationOption>)

Again this looks like an instantiation of a QT template that may or may not be included in the library as a seperate
symbol depending on whether it gets in-lined or not. So again I believe it should be marked as (optional=templinst)

If noone objects i'll prepare a team upload marking the offending symbols as (optional=templinst) in the next few days.
