WebKitGTK can no longer work on big-endian architectures as a result of an 
upstream move from Cairo to Skia, as announced in 
<https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2026/09/msg00139.html> and #1148038.

libwx-perl depends on WebKitGTK. Until recently its removal was blocked 
by unifont-bin, but that should no longer be the case now that 
unifont_1:16.0.04-1.1 has been built on s390x.

Thanks,
