Hi,
Feel free to proceed with the backports :)
I played with Qt, and essentially I downgraded the dh_helper version
from 6 to 5, fixed a package rename to avoid relying on backported
Firebird, and I avoided cowbuilder in this particular case because of
a bug! http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=475181
The bug report contains more precise steps to redo the Qt backport.
