[Pkg-geany-team] Bug#909196: geany: webhelper seems ported to webkit2gtk, please reenable it

[Lee Garrett]

Hi,

it seems as though geany-plugin-webhelper was removed from buster/sid.
Looking at the changelog, there's the following entry:

geany-plugins (1.32+dfsg-3) unstable; urgency=medium

  * [67b34ed] Disable webkit-using plugins: markdown, webhelper
    webkitgtk-3.0 is not to be used as it is deprecated, but the port to
    webkit2gtk-4.0 isn't ready yet.

Since the packages cleanly install and also upgrade fine, I'm lowering
the severity of this bug report. I don't expect this to be enabled again
at this point in the release cycle (buster is in deep freeze), but it
might be possible that this gets added to buster-backports.

HTH,
Lee
