Thanks for getting the qwt transition moving.

I'm currently updating the QGIS 2.14.0 package in preparation for the
move to unstable, I can do the upload later this week.

Regarding the Qt4 WebKit removal, we unfortunately cannot switch QGIS to
Qt5 without having to disable a significant portion of its
functionality. Most importantly, the Python support had to be disabled
and is pretty essential for running most QGIS plugins. As discussed on
the debian-gis list recently [0], I'd like to stick to Qt4 a little
longer, at least until the 2.16 release which should have dual Qt4/Qt5
support.
