Well, okay, that is clear for once.

I meanwhile sent a mail to upstream distribution mailinglist exactly asking 
about upstream recommendations about this. I intend to forward an answer to 
debian-qt-kde mailing list and ping the team on IRC about it, cause it really 
is no user support issue and so discussing it here leaves it to pure chance 
whether one of the packagers picks it up.
