pyjamas (and dependent) packaging: examples of failure of ubuntu packaging and development process

Hi Philip,

Focusing on pyjamas...

In the removal bug, webkit is also mentioned as a possible dependency.
I've played a bit and found the line that should be patched to use
webkit by default.

What would be the less worst solution? Remove the pyjamas-desktop
package or make it use the Ubuntu's webkit?

I've seen that the package has been synced in Maverick, so let's try
to fix it in Maverick first.

Thanks,
Fabrice
