Just some 'thoughts" for better theme management / quality:

/opt/qtlockscreen/default/ is the default theme - i wouldn't use it to store your custom images / overwrite files in there etc.
-> better create a directory with your theme name under /opt/qtlockscreen/ and put everything there

copy QtLockscreen.ini to /home/user/.config/sakya/
-> i include this file in /opt/qtlockscreen/<themename> too, and (currently) simply symlink it to /home/user/.config/sakya/QtLockscreen.ini so i do not have to overwrite settings every time; this enables theme switching
-> this file also uses 'ThemeName = <themename>' instead of "Default" internally

As for the backgrounds like all other customized images, i also include them in /opt/qtlockscreen/<themename> as backgroundL.* / backgroundP.*

So basically the lockscreen theme is self-contained and can be more easily distributed, and will not mess up your /home/user/MyDocs/.images too with several image files that are not used for desktop backgrounds.

A Debian package will only make the installation procedure easier, but will not 'fix' guys spreading files all over the place. You should avoid that. That's the main reason why i oppose doing so.
