Title:
  Mnemosyne fails to start in Yakkety due to missing PyQt4-WebKit

Status in mnemosyne package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in mnemosyne package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  Mnemosyne fails to start in Yakkety due to a failure to import
  QtWebKit.

  Traceback (innermost last):
    File "/usr/bin/mnemosyne", line 155, in <module>
      debug_file=options.debug_file)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mnemosyne/libmnemosyne/__init__.py", line 164, in initialise
      self.register_components()
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mnemosyne/libmnemosyne/__init__.py", line 215, in register_components
      exec("from %s import %s" % (module_name, class_name))
    File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mnemosyne/pyqt_ui/review_wdgt.py", line 5, in <module>
      from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWebKit
   ImportError: cannot import name QtWebKit

  Searching with apt-cache reveals that there is a QtWebKit based on
  Qt4:

  python-pyqt5.qtwebkit - Python 2 bindings for Qt5's WebKit module
  python-pyside.qtwebkit - Qt 4 WebKit module - Python bindings
  python3-pyqt5.qtwebkit - Python 3 bindings for Qt5's WebKit module
  python3-pyside.qtwebkit - Qt 4 WebKit module - Python3 bindings

  ... but installing it manually doesn't prevent the above error:

  Traceback (innermost last):
    File "/usr/bin/mnemosyne", line 155, in <module>
      debug_file=options.debug_file)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mnemosyne/libmnemosyne/__init__.py", line 164, in initialise
