Well, your attempt to fix a bug just caused another bug, and didn't seem to fix the original bug either. I'm sorry if my reaction was too strong, but right now every new Qt program I start is unusable, and Debian doesn't provide an easy way to rollback, or even building all the Qt packages with the patch removed. It's a big inconvenience. It's not the first time that Debian makes things worse by randomly applying half-baked patches either. (Also, in this case, from a distro which most likely cares about making Qt behave like Qt only, rather than any kind of real fix. Desktop environments other than Gnome are left broken.) As if HIDPI configuration on Linux weren't already hard enough.
