I'm pretty sure the Stellarium guys know what they are doing:

https://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qcoreapplication.html#quit

so you don't actually return from quit(). If you are really pedantic
and think that it may result in "undefined behavior", then see
what C++ author has to say about it: 
http://www.stroustrup.com/bs_faq2.html#void-main

So, in the end, I think it's fine. :D
Also, I don't think it is justified to backport this fix to wheezy
as it's not security related nor it breaks the user experience very much.

Thanks for the bug report,
Tomasz
