The suggestions are indeed fine, but we will be retiring qtquick1 with the 
next Qt5 upload. We will consider adding more info the the declarative long 
description, of course.

Thanks for the explanation.

In this case it would be nice if the package would at least show up in a 
search for qtquick. Is it possible to change the package description of 
qtdeclarative5-dev to something like this:

Another way to make the situation more transparent to users would be to add 
something like this to the package description of qtquick1-5-dev:

>> In order to build Qt Quick 2 applications on Qt5, you need to install the
