Adam Reichold proposed the following answer:
Hello Abhishek,

please note that the MuPDF plug-in is considered experimental and is
practically unmaintained at the moment. If you want to try it out, you
currently have to build qpdfview from source, i.e. grab the current
trunk using Bazaar

bzr branch lp:qpdfview

and configure it to build the MuPDF plug-in but not the Poppler plug-in
as it will be preferred

qmake CONFIG+=without_pdf CONFIG+=with_fitz qpdfview.pro
make

and then run qpdfview using

./qpdfview

or install it using

sudo make install


You should make sure to uninstall the regular dailydeb first as your newly built version would otherwise find its Poppler plug-in and will have to install the following packages as build dependencies (additionally to the basic package "build-essential"):

libcups2-dev, qttools5-dev-tools, qt5-default, libqt5svg5-dev,
libpoppler-qt5-dev, pkg-config, libspectre-dev, libdjvulibre-dev,
zlib1g-dev

Please feel free to ask here if you need help along the way. (We will
probably add an optional MuPDF package to the dailydebs in the future,
but we currently lack the time.)

Best regards, Adam.
