I wonder the same thing as Thomas. I also have to patch away the version
check every time a new debian package gets distributed.

Why don't you patch away the version check in the Debian package in
general? I never had a problem using Anki on a QT version officially not
supproted. At least I can confirm that it works a lot better than with
the version check in it. (Making the package completely unusable.)

Also the bug that is trying to be prevented by the refusal of 5.10
doesn't seem to be that important, that it would suggest refusing to run
the program at all. The problem is documented to cause a crash when
opening the the browser and the stats window back and forth multiple
times. So what? The program can be restarted afterwards, it doesn't seem
to crash the database, as there shouldn't be any write operation on it
at that time. (And in case of, there would be a backup of the data
automatically done by Anki anyway.)
