Hi,

ring has an optional Build-Depends on libwebkit2gtk-3.0-dev, which is
deprecated in favor of
libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev (provided in Debian by webkit2gtk). Please drop
the alternate 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").

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

On behalf of the Debian WebKit Maintainers,
Jeremy Bicha
