Well, in fact most of the changes are only relevant to Meego/Harmattan. I don't think we should ask the upstream repo maintainers to keep the code, for the following reasons:

• It's not hard to readd it, once our fork is rock solid and has a clear future.
• We can easily keep the parts we need in our repo
• A small group should not keep a large project from tidying up
• We should think of getting rid of the reasons for the adaptations in the long run.

@Android_808: IIRC you need to export additional symbols (see https://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt5-maem...353321acfbdac8 and look for Q_WIDGETS_EXPORT) from qtbase in order to build qtmaemo5 and x11extras needs to be present, too. Furthermore the module depends on some Maemo specific stuff, so building it on a pure Debian might not work without heavy changes. That's because it mainly "qtresizes" the maemo5 gtk-style (using it, not resembling it).
So in the end one might need to rewrite it from scratch, maybe based on a theme that does not use gtk at all and is based on the hildon-components instead.

I'm sorry that I have so few time now (and that I didn't noticed recent posts). If anyone wants to push to the git repo just ask.
