Can you elaborate on this requirement? 12.04 won't have Mir AFAIK and we either
need Mir, something to use a nested X server or X mediation in AppArmor
(desired, but currently unscheduled) to be done and backported to 12.04 to even
entertain the idea of click packages on 12.04.

Note qtdeclarative5-qtsensors-plugin is currently unusable (at least on mako),
hopefully that will be fixed in the coming weeks (LP: #1227116)

I think these should be added-- we are seeing apps using them and/or have
apparmor policy groups for them
qtdeclarative5-qtorganizer-plugin (calendar)
qtorganizer5-eds - required by qtdeclarative5-qtorganizer-plugin
qtdeclarative5-systeminfo-plugin (network connectivity)
qtdeclarative5-u1db1.0 (ubuntu one)
qtdeclarative5-ubuntu-contacts0.1 (contacts)
qtdeclarative5-ubuntu-history0.1 (history)
qtdeclarative5-ubuntu-content0.1 (content-hub)
qtdeclarative5-unity-action-plugin (HUD)

The url-dispatcher probably needs something for QML (LP: #1223850 discusses this
a little)

This I don't know anything about, but thought it might be something we'd want:
qtdeclarative5-qtfeedback-plugin (haptic feedback?)

FYI, been told that the following are useless (on Ubuntu) and should not be
considered:
qtdeclarative5-qtbluetooth-plugin
qtdeclarative5-qtnfc-plugin
