Needed D-Bus patch for Qt 5.6.0 (experimental)
Dear Debian people,
There is an issue in d-bus threading in Qt 5.6.0 that locks up (some
plugins of) kded.
I'm forwarding a mail by David that contains the link to the patch for
this which was
green-lit by Thiago (Qt D-Bus maintainer).
This affects the latest Qt from the experimental.
