[Bug 1591343] [NEW] lernid: depends on python-webkit which is deprecated

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

[Impact]

lernid depends on python-webkit, which is deprecated and going
to be removed from the Debian archive. lernid should switch to using
the GObject Introspection bindings for webkit, ideally
gir1.2-webkit2-3.0 for Webkit2 and gtk+3 as upstream has already
dropped WebKit1 (so gir1.2-webkit-1.0 and gir1.2-webkit-3.0 are
likely to be dropped from Debian in the near future).

[Other Info]

As reported at https://bugs.debian.org/790218 the Debian developers
would like to remove python-webkit from the repositories because it uses
libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 which is no longer maintained.

The developers recommend you port lernid to GTK3 and then build against
gir1.2-webkitgtk-3.0, or preferably gir1.2-webkit2-4.0.
