First, you are wrong. qtbase-opensource-src is in Main:
qtbase-opensource-src | 5.0.1+dfsg-0ubuntu3b1 | raring | source
Even if it weren't, it wouldn't matter. It being in Universe would not
give Canonical license to arbitrarily introduce divergence from
upstream. I will ask again: What's the status of this upstream?
** Changed in: qtbase-opensource-src (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided => Wishlist
** Changed in: qtbase-opensource-src (Ubuntu)
Status: In Progress => Incomplete
** Description changed:
We're currently lacking patches in Qt5 that would enable appmenu / HUD
support in Qt5.
The FFe is mainly related to the Qt5 part ( qtbase-opensource-src
(Ubuntu) ):
== CHANGE ==
https://code.launchpad.net/~sil2100/ubuntu/raring/qtbase-opensource-src
/enable-appmenu <- the added patch
debian/patches/enable_appmenu_support.diff
The patch re-adds appmenu support as it was in Qt4 - it's based on the
approved Qt4 upstream changes we had landed. It's a direct port of the
same changes.
== TESTS ==
The packages (and Qt5 with the patch) builds and works, as tested on the
ppa:sil2100/qt PPA by some users.
== WHY? ==
Since the release of the Ubuntu SDK, our distro started directly
depending on Qt5. In the current form, Qt5 has no global menu support -
all Qt5 compiled applications have menus in windows. HUD support for
those applications is also non-existent. We think this is unacceptable,
especially that we're advertising development using our Ubuntu SDK
(Qt5).
- On the other hand, it also doesn't change the user interaction in a huge
- way, since Qt5 is not in main, but in universe. So it's not
- automatically visible to the user, but only to those that wish to use
- the Ubuntu SDK.
-
Note that this also blocks fix for bug 1126210 (see

src/+bug/1126210/comments/9).
