[Python-modules-team] Bug#941852: pyqt5webengine: please restore python-pyqt5.qtwebengine (which disappeared without a trace)

[Nicholas D Steeves]

Source: pyqt5webengine
Version: 5.12.1-2
Severity: normal

Dear pyqt5webengine maintainer[s],

Unfortunately when this package was broken out of pyqt5 the Python 2
bindings for QtWebEngine disappeared without a trace (no changelog
entry, no NEWS).  This has now caused Bug #941802, and Bug #941806.

Would you please restore this package?  Calibre is migrating towards
Python 3 but still depends on py2.  An up-to-date Calibre package is
needed to retain compatibility with the firmware updates ebook reader
manufacturers regularly push OTA.

Thank you for your consideration,
Nicholas
