[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#971242: debconf-kde-helper: Widgets note and error show the Description and Extended Description in wrong order/position

[Jaakko Kantojärvi]

Package: debconf-kde-helper
Version: 1.0.3-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I think note and error inputs add the description and the extended description
in
wrong QWidgets. The Description is added to textTE (KTextEdit) and the extended
description is added into descriptionL (QLabel). The former is clearly meant
for the longer content, while the latter for the shorter text.

The rendering can be compared to the gnome frontend, where the information is
in a different order.

I have attached a small script, which can be used to show the wrong rendering.
