Thanks for clearing it up! The new description indeed wasn't too accurate. I missed the earlier comment so, let me try to answer the upstream question now.
What's the status of this upstream? There's currently no real status upstream. For Qt4, we had appmenu support committed upstream. In Qt5, our all work we had committed upstream got trashed and QPA got introduced. QPA is the 'right upstream way to go' for appmenu support, as platforms can use QPA themeing to add things like global menu bars etc. The problem is, QPA got introduced with MacOS menu's in mind, which are realised completely different from how we originally designed appmenu-qt. Since our previous framework got removed from upstream, to get official upstream support for Ubuntu appmenu would require basically re-writing appmenu-qt from scratch to fit the new QPA framework. There is a bug for that (LP: #1157213) - I started work on this basically, but it's still in the beginning stages of development. Since raring is nearing its release, the idea was to just back-port the previous framework as a distro patch to Qt5 so that we have something that is tested and working. The code pieces related to QMenuBar didn't change in a big way, so the back-port was relatively safe to do. Same for appmenu-qt and libdbusmenu-qt - changes were minimal, just enabling a Qt5 build alongside Qt4 is required. Since we would have this 'backported' appmenu support for now, it would give us chance to work on the 'real solution' (QPA) in the meantime with less heavy deadlines. We could test the new functionality and submit our solution for upstream approval.
