Hi,

hbro depends on libwebkitgtk-1.0-0, which is deprecated in favor of
libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37. hbro should be ported to the new webkitgtk
version so we can remove the old, unmaintained one.

As an intermediate step you can port hbro to libwebkitgtk-3.0-0,
which has a similar API to libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 but is based on GTK+
3.0. Thus you'd be porting hbro to GTK+ 3.0 first, using
libwebkitgtk-3.0-0, and you could then port to libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37
later. But note that libwebkitgtk-3.0-0 is also deprecated.

Please try to do this before the Stretch release as we're going to
try to remove libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 this cycle.

We'll bump this to serious when the list of rdeps is small and we're
getting ready to removing libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 completely.

If you have any question don't hesitate to ask.
