[Bug 1710318] Re: Please remove webkitgtk from Ubuntu

[Jeremy Bicha]

** Description changed:

- Several webkit1 reverse-dependencies have been removed from Debian
- Testing ('buster').
+ webkitgtk has been removed from Debian Testing and will be removed from
+ Unstable once Eclipse is updated.
  
- 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
- ====================
- 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)
- thawab
- xiphos
+ The version of Eclipse currently in Debian/Ubuntu has been out of date
+ since 2012 or 2013. It also fails to build from source.
  
  Never in Debian
  ===============
  lightdm-webkit-greeter
  Mike Gabriel from Debian MATE has begun preparing web-greeter (the renamed version of lightdm-webkit-greeter)

  Other Info
  ==========
  Arch Linux completely removed webkit1 in 2017.
  
- We still need to figure out how to handle eclipse in order to completely
- remove webkitgtk.
+ If you use reverse-depends, note that libequinox-osgi-java has been
+ split into its own source package now.

** Also affects: lombok (Ubuntu)
