Hi, sorry for the delay. I haven't tested that yet but I believe this will simply make the package unusable for everyone. I'm not sure what we can do to assist you in your effort to remove webkitgtk from Debian. Ok, most obviously we could "just" package the latest Eclipse version but that won't happen anytime soon. We should definitely try to avoid this sort of dependency mess in the future by packaging important libraries like eclipse-rcp in a separate source package. That would be similar to what we are doing whith Netbeans and libnb-platform18-java at the moment. It simply ensures that we can resolve such issues more easily by dropping the hard to maintain IDE but keeping other important dependencies which don't require that much effort in theory.
