I have confirmed that Lubuntu does not come with libqt4-svg
preinstalled. Installing qpdfview from the stable-ppa leads to a gui
without icons. When installing the dailydeb, libqt4-svg is installed
and icons are available in the gui. So it seems the new explicit
dependency is necessary and solves the problem.

Cheers,
Benjamin
