Mail to control@bugs.debian.org
with the first line
reassign src:qtscriptgenerator 634171
would fix it?

Now that my horizon has been extended the remaining question is if my
misunderstanding was just because of my personal trap.

Googling for "qt script" returned QtScript at top. I suggest
to distinguish from Qt 3 (base of KDE 3). But the main thing
is being unique, and it may be easily adapted with sed.
