I didn't abuse the severity. The
https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#severities has an entry "makes
unrelated software on the system (or the whole system) break". And
this is the case here. There is no obvious relation between
plasma-desktop/libqt5core5a and the tex-common installation scripts.
The same happened in the tex-common bug (actually worse - they just
closed it). I am under the impression that everyone just wants to
ignore this problem.
There is a simple workaround which is not selecting a faulty locale. This makes the bug important, but not RC.
I'll dig qt's code but I'm not entirely sure it's the right place to fix this issue.
