Bug Description
Dear Release Team,
I would like to request a blanket FFe wrt Ubuntu Touch, for those packages that are part of Ubuntu Touch but not part of Ubuntu Desktop. TTBOMK, the packages that are different between the two are not otherwise used in other flavor images, but let me know if you would like me to check this explicitly.
I've assembled a list of 101 source packages, included inline below, that would be affected by this. The script used to generate the list is included at the bottom.
For the vast majority of these packages, there is no expectation of freeze-breaking changes; but since there is a high probability that some critical features will not be landed by Feature Freeze for some subset of these packages, I think it makes sense to deal with these as a whole rather than requesting exceptions package-by-package or feature-by-feature.
A couple other notes:
- Not all of the packages listed here are currently in the archive. Some of them are in ppas used for building Ubuntu Touch. We have committed to fixing this by the end of the week by moving any necessary packages into the archive.
- Some of the packages - in particular, the "*-app" packages - will not be moving to the archive at all because they are expected to transition to click packages. Although these "core apps" will not be part of the main Ubuntu archive, they nevertheless will be shipped on an Ubuntu image, so I think need to be dealt with via the usual community processes (including freeze handling).
Does this sound reasonable?

Where do we stand on this? I'm personally OK with it except for Qt5. Those packages aren't touch specific.
