Hi,
the current version in stable has a insecure built-in password generator. As
the built-in password generator not used in qtpass' default config, the
security team asked me to fix it via stretch-pu.
Here is the corresponding link:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/qtpass
I attached the debdiff (the fix is adopted from upstream, see
https://github.com/IJHack/QtPass/issues/338 for reference).
May a go ahead?
Best,
Philip

+qtpass (1.1.6-1+deb9u1) stretch; urgency=medium
+
+ All passwords generated with QtPass' built-in password generator prior to
+ 1.1.6-1+deb9u1 are possibly predictable and enumerable by hackers.
+ The generator used libc's random(), seeded with srand(msecs), where msecs is
+ not the msecs since 1970 (not that that'd be secure anyway), but rather the
+ msecs since the last second. This means there are only 1000 different
+ sequences of generated passwords.
+ .
+ NB: QtPass uses `pwgen` to generate passwords by default. This means, if you
+ didn't change the configuration to use the built-in password generator your
+ passwords are safe. If you used the built-in password generator, change all
+ passwords you generated with QtPass.
