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.
