It was a little tricky to confirm this one, given that the missing
dependency (libterm-readkey-perl) is seeded by server and cloud-image
(so the problem didn't immediately manifest in my test containers!), but
yes, confirmed. Targetting to affected releases.

One question about the proposed fix: it's adding libterm-readkey-perl to
Depends, when upstream have fixed this by adding it to Recommends. I
suspect upstream is correct in that the "intent" of the package is to
provide a library for querying RDF, and rqsh is (presumably?) a simple
utility for experimenting with that facility, not the "primary" artifact
of the package. In other words, there exist users that could happily
install librdf-query-perl as a dependency of some Perl-based system, use
it successfully, and never notice (or care) that rqsh doesn't work, and
who don't want the overhead of its dependencies installed as well.

Still, given the additional dependency in this case is already seeded in
server and cloud-image, this really feels like splitting hairs, and I'd
much rather the package "just works" for users. So, sponsoring!
