The question is whether one should report those bugs in detail or not.
Though I dont have too much time for those little details ATM anyway :-)

Another one is libartsmidi.la. I have now installed all the -dev packages
though, so I probably wont find any more of those :-)

no, it rather seems to be bug no 46783 (upstream). However, I do have the
latest Qt from unstable, so this bug would bite all Debian users. Does
anyone have Qt3.1beta packages or more details on what would be required to
fix this?

mmh, if nobody else reports this, it was probably the old kdmrc I kept from
your first packages (beta1) - this means the problem is fixed now.
