Thanks for the clarification.

If indeed qmelt and melt is the same (I suspect it isn't, given the 
comment by author of melt to the upstream bugreport you referenced 
earlier - but I'll leave it to the package maintainer to examine closer) 
then I guess a better approach would be to patch the code tp call melt 
instead of qmelt.
