After discussion on IRC, I understand that the long-term goal is to
convince upstream to split these plugins out as separate tarball
releases for ease of building/maintenance (since qtcreator itself is
quite hefty to iterate on if you're only changing a single plugin), and
that while upstream hasn't necessarily agreed to this, the individual
plugins also have separate upstream source repositories. With this in
mind, I'm willing to accept remotelinux as a separate source package
instead of asking this to be a distro patch against the existing plugin
sources in the qtcreator source package.
So eventually the remotelinux changes will (hopefully) be merged
upstream, but when they are they will also hopefully continue to be made
available as a separate source package.
Other than this, this appears to be a low-risk change; the plugin is
self-contained and actively maintained by the SDK team, who will know
better than anyone what's needed to make this useful for 14.04. FFe
granted.
