Qt Virtual Keyboard for (K)Ubuntu?

[Walter Lapchynski]

It seems like from what I read about it that it doesn't need anything
special to make it work with any Qt app, right? If so, that seems like a no
brainer for a new package. I couldn't find it in Debian. I might be
interested in taking this on as a new package. Any further insight would be
most appreciated.
