In Debian we are pushing hard to get rid of QtWebKit for Qt4 in the current 
release cycle.  As part of this effort, we've dropped QtWebKit support from 
python-qt4 in Debian and this was sync'ed into Xenial.  

You can either add QtWebKit support back and maintain the diff both in Qt4 and 
PyQt4 (with zero upstream support) or port ubiquity-frontend-kde to Qt5.  I 
would recommend the latter if you can manage it.
