This is caused by #567528 and lack of code on debcheck's side to report the
error (it just detects it and dies[1].)
I've asked our ftp-masters to please auto-reject packages triggering bad-
version-in-relation to help avoid such cases in the future, but a) no
response so far, and b) it wouldn't have prevented python-kde4's bug because
it was introduced by a binNMU.
Ideally both bugs should be fixed, but I guess the kde4 bug will be fixed
way before somebody hacks debcheck (unless it is to comment the line that
makes it abort, but I don't know the side-effects.)
[1] line 861 of data/debcheck/debcheck:
die ("malformed-relationship not supported yet\n")
