Also I think it would be better if the folder-color change could instead (or as well) be controlled by gsettings, for the same reasons of /etc/skel avoidance

The TrollTech.conf was in the package before, this is not an addition. There is no other facility to change the default Qt4 settings, which is why Ubuntu MATE and Xubuntu drop Trolltech.conf in /etc/skel/. I have agreed with the Xubuntu team that we will mutually conflict our default settings packages and review what we can do in 15.10.
The only facility that currently exists in folder-color to diable the donation menu entry is via ~/.config, hence the inclusion of folder-color in /etc/skel. The Folder Color author actually requested we add this setting. I'll ask the Folder Color developer to make this a system setting but until that is an option can this change be permitted?
I'll revise the a11y settings for QT and also do the same for GTK since it has never been session restricted either. I'll also make use of dpkg-mainscript

Despite changing etc/X11/
I personally think accessibility support should always be enabled if it's a switch that doesn't change behavior for all users and just makes the use of accessibility features easier (orca, etc.), but is this on purpose?
What change in behavior do you need QT_ACCESSIBILITY to be set for?

I'm aware that the conf file was there before, but now you're discovering that you want to add Conflicts because of it. And also it only works for new users, so I made a suggestion that you might want to look into changing Qt itself to be able to load this file from a system location which uses XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP or similar.

I'll remove etc/profile.
The "export QT_ACCESSIBILITY=1" will load all installed accessibility-
I've thought of a way to provide the user settings Ubuntu MATE requires without putting stuff in `/etc/skel`. I'll update the repo later.

I agree that it is very bad, Conflicts should not be used such way.
@Martin: can you just let Qt 4 use its default settings? After all, there are not so many Qt 4 apps left.

Qt 5 no longer uses Trolltech.conf at all (and Qt 4 receives only critical bug fixes), so this is not acceptable for upstream :-)

I have removed all files from /etc/skel and re-factored how user level settings are applied when no system wide capability exists. Therefore, ubuntu-
The package is ready for review again.

I fixed the version to be a native package without the ubuntu string as it's a native package.
Otherwise, every sounds good, sponsored, thanks!

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-
---------------
ubuntu-
* Qt accessibility modules enabled.
* Qt theme is overridden with GTK+ when MATE session is detected.
* Enabled Ambiant-MATE theme in the live session.
* Relocated autostart files to /usr/share/
so they do not conflict with other desktop environments.
* Removed all configuration from /etc/skel. (LP: #1426862)
* Closes (LP: #1427182)

This seems quite bad. Is it for Qt settings? Could we instead change Qt to look for a Trolltech-
I think that would probably even be acceptable for Qt upstream.
