Bug Description

qt5/imports is a non-standard place that Ubuntu.Application plugin was installed into, not sure why that was.

But unity-mir shouldn't follow that. If we install under qt5/, it should mean that it's globally accessible - but since we don't want it to be, a completely separate import path should be used. Something along the lines of /usr/lib/*/unity-mir/qml.

The mirserver QPA plugin should probably also not be available on a standard QPA path, if possible.

This is a custom import path that's currently used and "dynamically" added to QML2_IMPORT_PATH, depending on whether we're using SF or not.

It should be in a different place, not even under qt5/, that only shell will be able to load (apport-protected).
