Title:
  depends on libwebkitgtk3 which doesn't have security support

Status in zenity package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in zenity package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  libgwebkitgtk and libwebkitgtk3 are not maintained upstream and contain 100s 
of active CVEs.
  It sure would be great if users of large DEs that depend on Zenity could 
opt-out on those CVEs...

  Because zenity might not be dealing with untrusted HTML content,
  I'm not flagging this one with "security"

  For those that didn't know DANGEROUS packages may be shipped:
  You can use the package "debian-security-support", it'll tell you 
automatically.
