Can you provide any more information on the bug? If there is a patch it would be in the Ubuntu Qt patchset, which I can search for a relevant patchfile if I know what to look for.

Also, with respect to compiling Trinity, the tqtinterface must be compiled and installed before any other Trinity packages will compile. You will therefore need to create a new package that contains the tqtinterface library and development headers. All other build dependencies will generally be the same as before.
Is there a build script?
