That is the plan, yes. The QA team is testing it for OTA-5 as I type
this.

Bug description:
  Support an interface in QML and HTML to allow an app to keep the
  screen on while the app is active. This has come up in several
  scenarios, such as an ebook reader, a clock in night mode.

  First step is to hook up QtSystemInfo screenSaverEnabled

  One solution to inhibit the screen blanking:

  Add a new dbus rule to the default template
  Provide a mediator (unity8) to control this, so it can restore the screen blanking when the app is not active or has been closed
  Prompt the user for confirmation the first time the app accesses it
  use the trust store to avoid prompts each time
  add to the System settings Other app access panel an entry for Screen or Display so the setting could be revoked
