Bug Description
Please consider ubuntu-terminal-app for inclusion in main.
We'd like to include the Ubuntu Terminal App in the 16.10 Ubuntu desktop images, and to do that it needs to be in main. This bug is a companion to bug 1623845 which was filed to get it into the archive.

Rationale:
Need a terminal by default on U8 session in Ubuntu desktop images.
Security:
No CVE entries.
No Secunia history.
Binary runs as root, but does not have user controlled input.
Written in QML and C++
Does not open any port.
Quality assurance:
Package works out of the box without configuration.
Has had a year or more of extensive usage on devices as the only terminal app available
Does not deal with exotic hardware which we cannot support.
Standards compliance:

I reviewed version 0.7ubuntu2~ yakketytest in ppa:popey/touch.
This will need a team bug subscriber once it's in Ubuntu.
Need-more-info:
- What's the story with the konsole plugin? Is that bundled code from another package?
Non-blocking notes:
- I would expect to see dh-python3 used (with ${python3:Depends} in debian/control) for the autopilot package. No big deal in this specific case, but that's the usual way to handle python modules.
- It would be nicer to use the proper qml module names of qml-module-* before we land in Ubuntu (instead of qtdeclarative5-*).
- Is qtdeclarative5- pamauthenticati on0.1 supposed to be installed into a com/ubuntu subdirectory of the normal qml install path? Is it considered a private library? If so, why package it separately from ubuntu- terminal- path?
- I'm sad there's no unit tests. :(
