Thanks for reporting it.

The general problem is described in [1] and the surrounding thread.
There is a proposed solution involving moving the Debain changelog to
an architecture-specific location (like
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libqtcore4:amd64.changelog) and I suspect that
it will be a pleasant change once the details are ironed out.

This specific instance is tracked at [2] and will be fixed by the
next sourceful upload of qt4-x11.  Let's keep this bug separate and
open to track progress in solving the general problem.

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
