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

[Jeremy Bicha]

** Description changed:

  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 unstable and testing
- =================================
- blam
- gphpedit
- webkit-image
- webkit-sharp
- webkitgtk-sharp3
- 
  Removed from testing
  ====================
- bibledit-gtk (note that the source package bibledit is ok and it ships the same package names)
  gnucash
  luakit (there's an ITA but it's a web browser so I wouldn't be too sad if luakit is removed until it can be at least properly maintained in Debian)
  monodevelop
  monodevelop-database
  thawab
  xiphos
  xtrkcad
  zekr
  
  Never in Debian
  ===============
  lightdm-webkit-greeter
  Mike Gabriel from Debian MATE has begun preparing web-greeter (the renamed version of lightdm-webkit-greeter)

  ==========
  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.
  
  monodevelop may be useful to some people but I don't think Mono ever got
  around to releasing a stable gtk3 version of Mono.
  
  Arch Linux has already completely removed webkit1.

** No longer affects: gphpedit (Ubuntu)
