How is this automated QA to be completed? There is no AT-SPI support in
Qt/KDE yet.

Will this be done by the pbuilder hooks I am assuming? Even these don't
catch them all of the time, because the docs packages did fine with the
pbuilder hooks, but after uploading, there were issues with the install
that pbuilder didn't catch. I still prefer manually doing some regression
testing, and think everyone in the entire community needs to do this as
well for packages they work on, if they don't already.
