while I'm not part of the Debian Qt/KDE team anymore, I can tell you this 
patch shouldn't be included because apparently it just silents the debug 
output of kbuilsycoca4 which doesn't seem very appropiate.

However not everything are bad news for you: to fix your problem, you just can 
execute "kdebugdialog" and disabled the debug output. Disabling it patching 
kdelibs like that isn't a good solution because some people needs to inspect 
the kDebug() output of their programs, besides, as you can see, you can just 
turn it off.

Well, given that not everybody is allowed to be a member of your team and also 
not everybody is allowed to be a member of the debian project  (which is 
probably one of the most closed free software projects around there, with an 
unneccesarily large and complicated process to become a member) you shouldn't 
complain about your lack of manpower, you just asked for it.

Cheers.
