[Bug 1710318] [NEW] Please remove webkit1 rdepends removed from Debian Testing

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Jeremy Bicha (jbicha):

Several webkit1 reverse-dependencies have been removed from Debian
Testing ('buster').

While I'd like to see them removed from unstable too (or ported away
from webkit1), that will take quite a while longer.

Removed from testing
====================
bibledit-gtk (note that the source package bibledit is ok and it ships the same package names)
cyclograph
gnome-web-photo
gnucash
gphedit
luakit
thawab
xiphos
xtrkcad
webkitgtk-sharp3
zekr

Scheduled for autoremoval on or after August 13
===============================================
sparkleshare
sugar-read-activity
typecatcher
webkitgtk-sharp3

Two packages never in Debian
============================
lightdm-webkit-greeter
Mike Gabriel from Debian MATE has begun preparing web-greeter (the renamed version of lightdm-webkit-greeter)

Not scheduled for removal in Debian yet but why not?
====================================================

Other Info

I think the most difficult one on this list for some people is gnucash. Fedora 27 (due ~November) is actually bundling webkit1 inside the gnucash packaging. There will be a beta version of gnucash ported to gtk3 available later this year. Hard to say whether it's better to offer a beta or just remove it entirely.

The other hard one is empathy. It has been ported to webkit2 in git, but
nobody at GNOME cares enough or has enough confidence in it to release a
new version from git master. Fedora might handle this one.

Arch Linux has already completely removed webkit1.
