I agree this should be done, so FFe granted on the condition you find an
archive admin with time to deal with the New review (I don't have it at
the moment). This isn't a literal sync, it's merge, so it will need
review.

Title:
[FFe] Qt Location sync packaging with Debian (new binary package)
Status in “qtlocation-opensource-src” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
This is a packaging only FFe to avoid migration costs later on by
syncing packaging with Debian (otherwise we'll have to maintain
transitional packages until 16.04 LTS). As it introduces a split -dev
package, some care is/was needed to ensure that upgrades work as
intended for people using Ubuntu Touch, Ubuntu SDK and other flavors.
However, the modified qtlocation5-dev depends on the new
qtpositioning5-dev package so it should work, and proper
Replaces/Breaks are included. Other binaries were not touched.
The syncing also introduces the documentation packages for qtlocation.
The history behind why Qt Location is somewhat different in Ubuntu is a bit
complex:
- Qt Location was not packaged in Debian before 5.2.0, since it was not
released by upstream before that. Ubuntu used a git snapshot before.
- "Qt Location" upstream tarball now includes two modules: Qt Positioning,
and Qt Location.
- Only Qt Positioning was actually released in the sense it's supported by
upstream, so Debian only packages that.
- Qt Location depends on qt3d, another git snapshot not yet released by
upstream. Ubuntu has qt3d, and that packaging has been contributed to Debian
git but not uploaded to Debian archives since it's not a released module.
So, Dmitry has reached a consensus with Debian on how they would be packaging
qtlocation-opensource-src, if they would be packaging it fully ie. the
combination of Qt 3D + Qt Positioning + Qt Location. This is now what would be
synced in this FFe:

Upgrading to the landing PPA succeeds on both device and desktop. On
the desktop it pulls in the new qtpositioning5-dev because I have
Ubuntu SDK installed.
