Please consider the attached debdiff instead.

It also fixes bug #1107294: with some hardware configurations, there was
division by zero in QXcbVirtualDesktop::dpi() function. To fix this, I
backported upstream commit [1] which removes one call of that function and
replaces it with a static value (fallback DPI = 96). That commit is part of
Qt 6 since 2020.

+Description: X11: set fallback logical DPI to 96
+ Returning physical DPI from logicalDpi() is problematic,
+ as explained in commit 77e04acb.
+ .
+ The most predictable implementation is to never return
+ physical DPI from QPlaformScreen::logicalDpi(). Other
+ platform plugins already do this, and this change
+ brings xcb in line with the rest of Qt.
+ .
+ We have the QPlatformScreen::physicalSize() API which
+ covers returning physical DPI (indirectly); Options
+ for selecting which one to use can be implemented on
+ top of these (see QT_USE_PHYSICAL_DPI).
