We met today about this, here's the output:

Long-term we need to support both orientation and primaryOrientation from the Screen Qt object, to support both shell and app rotation (shell rotation the general use case, app rotation e.g. camera only rotating buttons):
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qml-qtquick-window-screen.html#orientation-prop

Shorter term, we'll move the orientation from qtubuntu to centralize in
qtmir, passing the orientation value to apps over the Mir API, meaning
we need platform-api, qtubuntu and qtmir changes. Gerry is going to
coordinate that work.

The orientation lock value (it needs to be one of the 4 available
orientations to store and recover between sessions, for example) will be
stored in gsettings, written to by settings app, reset by settings app
and $indicator, TBC.

  1. Open System Settings.

  quick access area is a group of list items at the top of the overview
  screen. It should always contain 'Orientation Lock'..."
