Not 100%. It closes the visual corruption part, but not the printing
problems. The title is now a little misleading though, perhaps you could
clone the bug to another which just concerns the LC_NUMERIC reset with
the qt theme engine for GTK, and how that breaks printing from gschem.
(And close #567585).

The upstream changes relevant to visual corruption in Debian bug #567585
is not the one you have snipped at above, it was this:

    gschem: Set font description explictly, rather than by parsing a string
    
    This makes the font description string robust against numeric locale
    settings, which could cause problems if "," gets used as the decimal
    separator in the requested font size.
    
    This issue caused text rendering to be broken in gschem on Win32 for
    locales where "," was used as the decimal specifier. The underlying
    bug (failing to override the LC_NUMERIC settings) is now fixed,
    although it is just as well to be as robust as possible here.
    
    Thanks to Cesar and Bert for testing this fix.
