Thanks for the reply.  Accordingly, I have tagged the following bugs:

 * is-blocker: #857994 (qtwebchannel-opensource-src)
 * will-remove: #857986, #857990, #857991

Note for ruby-license-finder + npm2deb: If the package can trivially
drop the npm dependency, it is welcome to stay in stretch.

@QT/KDE maintainers: A timely upload for #857994 would greatly be
appreciated, so we can finish up this soon.

Thanks,
~Niels
