- No binaries running as root/suid/sgid and no daemons or open ports.
Quality assurance:
- No configuration necessary and no debconf questions.
[http://bugs.debian.org/src:qcad Debian bugs]: 3 open and 4 forwarded upstream. Nothing critical or showstopper
[http://packages.qa.debian.org/q/qcad.html Maintenance in Debian] is calm

Reviewers
MartinPitt: uses qt3 and does not support gettext, but otherwise it's fine. Approved because it is an edubuntu goal
