[Bug 1469221] Re: Move to webkit2gtk in main

[Steve Langasek]

The devhelp package in main has just dropped the delta to use webkitgtk
instead of webkit2gtk:

  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/devhelp/3.18.1-1ubuntu1

Laney, what's the status of this bug?  Is this transition moving forward
for xenial?  Do we need an MIR for webkit2gtk or just a committment to
remove webkitgtk from main in favor of w2g?  Should we pre-promote
webkit2gtk to main to unblock things like devhelp, and mark this a
critical bug against webkitgtk?

Bug description:
  Look at porting things to the new webkit2 API. Upstream has dropped
  wk1 and so webkitgtk is not receiving updates any more.

  We should aim to move webkit2gtk to main and webkitgtk to universe,
  eventually removing it once everything is ported.
