As mentioned in #1092001, QGIS can't be switched to Qt6 yet. Upstream will likely switch to Qt6 with their 3.46 release scheduled for October 2026, but it will take more time for that branch to become LTR.

We can try switching our build to Qt6 with the upcoming 3.40.4 LTR, but that's unlikely to work for the bookworm-backport so I expect to stick to Qt5 until trixie is released and the backport can use Qt6 like the build in unstable.

Dropping Webkit support will break plugins and make users unhappy, so I'm only inclined to do that when there is no qtwebkit in testing.

Kind Regards,

Bas
