The spatialite transition completed last week and we now have SpatiaLite
4.3.0 in Debian testing/unstable (but they're still proposed updates for
Ubuntu wily).

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/spatialite

With the spatialite_init() related changes from #12771 QGIS 2.8.3 and up
no longer use the deprecated method causing the segfault. Because 2.8.3
is still not out I've included those changes as a patch in the qgis
(2.8.2+dfsg-3) package in Debian.

We still need to start the GDAL 1.11.2 transition to get those
spatialite_init() related changes into Debian testing/unstable too.

Kind Regards,

Bas
