Comment 2 for bug 1474690

The patch will be included in the 012 PPA starting with a test build version number "0.99.0+git20130923+17fdf86-0ubuntu11~wily1~test4~qt550", although do note that because of the GCC5 transition now happening in wily archives it will probably take a good while now before the PPA is actually usable since all of Qt 5.5 will also need a rebuild. Anyway, once the GCC5 transition is completed annd PPA rebuild are done , the keyboard should then work which is great news!

Syncing with upstream in general, even before any Qt 5.5 landing is possible, sounds like a good idea.
