Wow, neat. :)

(It also means that some of the #ifdeffery in the source is useless and 
wrong.)

I see value in being able to build on Debian stable, although I don't use it 
myself (using Testing, no problems there). It won't enter the official tree 
anytime soon for various reasons (release cadence, iniparser depdendency), so 
being able to build it is a nice thing.

Dropping the Qt 4.6 dependency still sounds understandable to me, it's quite 
old, and it will not work with the Plasma client anyway (that requires newer 
Qt).
