This bug was fixed in the package quassel - 0.7.3-0ubuntu2

---------------
quassel (0.7.3-0ubuntu2) oneiric; urgency=low

  * Set permissions of /var/lib/quassel and /var/log/quassel to 750.
    (LP: #846922)
  * Set permissions of /var/lib/quassel/quasselCert.pem to 640.
  * Update home dir of quasselcore user and stop the daemon before doing so.
  * Drop quasselcore-makecert script since it's completely broken since at
    least lucid and there is no need to update the self-signed certificate.
  * Drop README.source since the package has been converted to the 3.0 (quilt)
    format.
  * Update watch file so it only matches real version numbers.
  * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.2, no changes needed.
  * Use kde debhelper buildsystem instead of calling the kubuntu l10n scripts
    manually.
  * Fix typo in quasselcore init script so it waits 5 seconds before checking
    if quasselcore started successfully. (LP: #777191)
