[Bug 1677048] [NEW] Please remove pywebkitgtk from Ubuntu

[Jeremy Bicha]

Public bug reported:

Debian has removed pywebkitgtk from stretch.

Packages that used it need to switch to the supported webkit2gtk. The
best way to do that is by using gobject-introspection which may also
mean that the app needs to be ported to gtk3, so this is quite a bit of
work.

These packages that depend on pywebkitgtk have been removed from stretch:
pytrainer
rednotebook
tunesviewer

These are Ubuntu-only:
penguintv (LP: #1591348)
edubuntu-live-welcome (LP: #1591359)

Archive Admins, please remove pywebkitgtk and the five packages listed
above.

These have been fixed in zesty, but may still show for a few hours in
reverse-depends src:pywebkitgtk

lernid
python-ginga
