So I'm assuming the Mir related things will be picked up on the
mir-devel list, but just to cover some "fun" Qt and QML stuff. Basically
you need a large number of environment variables. You can see the list
in the QML Snapcraft plugin:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~snappy-dev/snapcraft/core/view/head:/snapcraft/plugins/qml.py#L78

What I'd recommend is actually using that plugin to build your snap,
instead of using deb2snap, so then you'll get all of those environment
variables for "free". There is an example of doing this in the snapcraft
codebase here:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~snappy-dev/snapcraft/core/view/head:/examples/qmldemo/snapcraft.yaml

Then you can just setup copy for your QML files. We also have CMake and
other Snapcraft plugins depending on how your build works.
