Hi,
thanks for your feedback.
TL; DR: vivid-proposed is needed and I updated the package list to
xserver-xorg-xmir from the PPA and additional xorg and xserver-xorg from
the normal vivid-proposed package sources. But this should be validated
and so you can test it too. :)

How could I get Xmir on my BQ (r21), or is this still to far away from
being installable by an end-user?
It IS installable by end-user but with some steps described here and at
your own risk. But you need the command to flash to vivid-proposed from
my first email in this topic in the links.
This will come by automatic updates not before 14 days, maybe much later
because of many time shifts. You need vivid because there are
installable 60.000 instead of 12.000 packages and the PPA with Xmir is
only for vivid too.
In any case: thanks and good luck on progress.
I'm no developer and interested in bringing up the current development
state to more people interested in because it's usable for many things now.
But maybe you want to wait some hours or days for more feedback from
other users with testing in progress here and in the German forum or
even the end of the wiki construction site intended in may. 2015. ;)

Having a go with this, and after installing the ppa, there doesn't seem
to be any xorg-server package. Have things moved fast since you posted
this?
The reconstruction of the package list on my and other systems is work
in progress and now I have removed a (false written without 0)
dependency and your mentioned non-existing package.
I had no time for more testing or documentation until now because
getting it to work and optimize the keyboard took much time for many
little tests and setting up my grafical X programs a little bit, playing
around first things with it and check display rotation and so on. And
for the first docu and posts, of course.
NEW: I have installed via apt-get on my system xserver-xorg-xmir from
the PPA and additional xorg and xserver-xorg from the normal
vivid-proposed package sources. Give it a try - two people in the German
forum the next 12-24 hours too. And a second one beside of me has
already success with the instructions. I think he will have installed
these two packages on it's own too.
I've updated my private command for the keyboard (BQ):
xvkbd -geometry 540x320+0+640 -compact -nonexitable
The manpage gives more control about more optimimizations but this will
need a config file for my chances wanted (german, bigger font size,
adding a backspace key in the compact design instead of using left-arrow
+ DEL and so on). Feel free to optimize almost anything and please share
some of your settings if you have good ones!
Greetings, lgd
