I removed all webkit and javascriptcore packages and installed

The first thing I ran into was that seed currently has a build-depends 
on libwebkitgtk-3.0-dev (>= 1.5.2), I de-versioned that build-depends so 
I could continue with the test.

After doing so seed built successfully!

I notice that "libjavascriptcore" didn't exist in that version of webkit.

IMO this result points the finger even more in webkit's direction (it 
was already looking that way)

I guess the next thing to do is to wait for jurij's results with his 
patched version of webkit. Jurij what is the status of that? (still 
waiting for webkit to build?).
