What Christoph probably meant was that he is looking for logging support of 
some kind.

While kDebug() might initially have been ment to be used for debugging during 
development, it is quite often also used for normal runtime logging even in 
release builds.

The "info" log level is missing in both Qt and KDE as far as I know (but I am 
no expert on either logging facility).
Basically all companies that I have worked with over many years which had Qt 
based products for non-consumer market have either had implemented their own 
custom logging solution or hacked some Qt support on top of existing solutions 
like log4cxx.

Maybe the way forward is to provide a logging module based on kDebug et al as 
a Qt-Addon and use that in an KDE framework allowing such dependency.

Cheers,
Kevin
