Package: libwebkit-1.0-1
Version: 0~svn32442-1
Severity: normal
the description for libwebkit currently seems to indicate that it is
for gtk-based browers only.
$ apt-cache show libwebkit-1.0-1 | grep Description
Description: Web content engine library for Gtk+
this has lead to some aversion from qt-based webkit browser packagers [1].
would it make sense to remove the "for Gtk+" part from the package
description?
hopefully someday the two webkits can be merged so that only one webkit
library is in the archive (advantages: reduced maintainance overhead,
single code base to implement security fixes for, less libraries to
load into memory, etc.).
thank you for your consideration.

No, because this *is* the webkit library for Gtk+. The one for qt is in
another package, from another source.

Don't count too much on that. The best that will be possible will be to
share the javascript engine.
