According to debian codesearch, there are 70 packages in the archive using 
QFINDTESTDATA. A few of them uses them only in "manual tests", while most of 
them uses it for automatic tests. I'd expect all of those should be affected. 

I sampled a couple of them, and at least
https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/
knotifications.html

The other ones I sampled didn't run the test suite on the buildds (which also 
kind of surprised me, but that's an issue for another mail list)
