Hi,

I would suggest that we keep our patched one for now.

If you are motivated you can implement the ability to pass an 
AndroidManifest to the androiddeployqt.  As it seems to be a common need 
not specific to GCompris we can think the Qt developers will appreciate 
it. If you want to go this way you have to follow the Qt contribution 
process that is defined there:
