Sorry for the delay, forgot to subscribe to this bug.

mono-tools upstream supports several HTML engines, so using gecko-sharp
(as with current Ubuntu packages) remains possible. However, the Debian
Mono team will no longer be linking mono-tools (or any other Mono
package) against gecko-sharp. The question therefore is a question of
preference - if Ubuntu developers such as yourself don't mind needing to
put in work on a merge whenever mono-tools is updated, then by all
means, keep webkit-sharp out of main. If syncing is preferred due to
lower admin overhead, then webkit-sharp will be required.

You may also want to look at the other non-webkit changes in 1.9-2
(http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/m/mono-tools/mono-
tools_1.9-2/changelog), but none of them are exactly vital.

In either case, I'd feel much happier with 1.9-anything in Intrepid
compared to the obsolete 1.2.6 currently in there. If you want to go
ahead with the existing diff.gz, then feel free, it'll still produce
perfectly usable packages.
