This is a general process for this. Normally you would work through the maintainer, but there's been no response from them, so I'll take care of it. Thanks, Scott K

Thanks again for letting me know that the python3-pyqt5.qtwebengine was now available! Cheers, Felix

Mnemosyne 2.4 has been released today [1]. I've tried to package it and you can find my changes to the debian directory on GitHub [2]. Unfortunately, mnemosyne 2.4 fails to start as it depends on QtWebEngine which isn't packaged yet (see #841830).

Bug#825887: mnemosyne: does not start due to removal of WebKit from python-qt4
Upstream has worked on porting mnemosyne to Python3 and PyQt5. They have published a link to a beta for the upcoming release 2.4 of mnemosyne on their mailinglist: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mnemosyne-proj-users/Et6uWBbFRjU This version of mnemosyne should be compatible with the PyQt5 in Debian testing. It would be nice if we could package this before the release of stretch. Cheers, Felix
Bug#825887: mnemosyne: does not start due to removal of WebKit from python-qt4
Package: mnemosyne
Version: 2.2.1-3
Severity: serious
Justification: renders mnemosyne unusable
Dear Maintainer,
after updating python-qt4 from 4.11.4+dfsg-1+b3 to 4.11.4+dfsg-2,
mnemosyne refuses to start and gives the following error message:
>8-->8-->8--->8
$ mnemosyne
libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile
libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile
libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile
libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile
libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile
An unexpected error has occurred.
Please forward the following info to the developers:

It seems that this is due to bug #784513 which states that WebKit has
been removed from python-qt4.
