  The package names of QML modules should be of the format qml-
  module-{$modulename}[version], a transition that was started during Qt
  5.3 preparation in Ubuntu. For example this could be qml-module-qtquick-
  localstorage or qml-module-qtsysteminfo for non versioned modules, and
  qml-module-ubuntu-webthing0.3 for versioned/co-installable modules.

  talk/2014-March/001889.html
  
  For Ubuntu, transitional packages should be put in place for smooth distribution upgrades, since we're shipping with the old names in previous Ubuntus. An example of that is at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kubuntu-packagers/kubuntu-packaging/qtsystems-opensource-src/revision/31 - in other words:
  - Make the old package a transitional oldlibs package that depends on the new package
  - Add Breaks/Replaces to the new package for the old non-transitional packages (be careful about the version number specification)
  - Keep Multi-Arch: same and Architecture: any for the transitional package
  - Write "QML module" instead of "QML plugin"
  - Rename also the *.install files

  One more example on naming:
  
  For example, the "test" (qtdeclarative5-test-plugin) in the old
  qtdeclarative5-style package naming became "qttest" (qml-module-qttest)
  in the new naming since the path is actually under
  /usr/lib/*/qt5/qml/QtTest/
  
  qml-module-qtquick-xmllistmodel has path
  /usr/lib/*/qt5/qml/QtQuick/XmlListModel, as an example if you have more
  than one subdir. /usr/lib/*/qt5/qml/Ubuntu/Connectivity/ would be qml-
  module-ubuntu-connectivity.
