This is now less important, as I managed to update qtubuntu for 5.9 [1].
Now the largest remaining blocker for Qt 5.9 is ubuntu-ui-toolkit.
I took a look at it today. Some of the issues were easy to fix (such as
QtPlatformSupport restructuring or QFlags API changes), but there are some
that would need rewriting a lot of code. For instance, QQmlCompiledData was
removed in Qt 5.8, and ubuntu-ui-toolkit uses it.
It looks like nobody works on ubuntu-ui-toolkit anymore, so removing
it is the only way to move forward.
I know it has been demoted to Universe (thanks Didier), but are there
any blockers for removing it completely?
