Bug#871964: swt-gtk: Build-depends on libwebkitgtk-dev which is deprecated

Hi,

swt-gtk Build-Depends on libwebkitgtk-dev, which is deprecated in favor of
libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev (provided in Debian by webkit2gtk). Please drop
this Build-Depends so that we can remove the old, unmaintained one.

Please try to do soon as we're going to try to remove the old webkitgtk soon.

I am filing this bug as "serious" since the old webkitgtk will not be
available in the next major stable release of Debian (codenamed
"buster").

The package does build successfully without the libwebkitgtk-dev
build-dependency.

It feels to me like the libswt-webkit-gtk-3-jni was already broken
since it doesn't have a dependency on any webkitgtk library (I think
the correct one would be libwebkitgtk-3.0-0 but that is still part of
the deprecated libraries which are being removed.)

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

On behalf of the Debian WebKit Maintainers,
Jeremy Bicha
