Bug#784613: qtwebkit removal from python-qt4

[Dmitry Shachnev]

Hi all,

I am going to remove qtwebkit support from python-qt4 package in an upload in
early 2015 (but not before January 7th, one month from now).

That means that these files will be no longer installed (and accompanying
documentation files):

  In python-qt4:

  - /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PyQt4/QtWebKit.so
  - /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PyQt4/uic/widget-plugins/qtwebkit.py

  In python-qt4-dbg:

  - /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PyQt4/QtWebKit.so
  - /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PyQt4/QtWebKit_d.so

  In python3-pyqt4:

  - /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/PyQt4/QtWebKit.cpython-*-*.so
  - /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/PyQt4/uic/widget-plugins/qtwebkit.py

  In python3-pyqt4-dbg:

  - /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/PyQt4/QtWebKit.cpython-*-*.so
  - /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/PyQt4/QtWebKit.cpython-*-*.so

Please port your packages before that date, or these bugs will become RC.

The recommended way is to port packages to PyQt5, see the instructions at [1].

For the reasoning behind qtwebkit removal, please see the original bug report
and the announcement in [2].
