The bug is that quik is Priority: important when it should be extra (as
a package only appropriate to specific hardware); this is bug #278187
against ftp.debian.org.
However, the current version of quik in unstable works around this, and
I've approved that for testing, so that should fix this bug too. It's
still ugly that quik is installed, but shouldn't be harmful.
