** Description changed:

- (FFe WIP, ubuntu-release not yet subscribed)
- 
  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 16.06 LTS). As it introduces a split -dev
+ 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
