Please remove pywebkitgtk from Debian unstable. It was removed over a
year ago from Debian testing because it is no longer maintained
upstream and it depends on the old webkitgtk library which is
unmaintained and is affected by dozens of known CVEs.

I have also filed RM bugs for the remaining pywebkitgtk rdeps in unstable:
