Thanks for the updates and the links to the discussions. My understanding is that Debian doesn't wish to distribute Qt WebEngine because it is would be linked in statically and thus not receive any security updates. And changing it to use the library dynamically would be too much work. Is that a fair assessment?
I did look into the Oxide packages. I tried to install several of them, including even the codecs. However, this still doesn't allow me to build my test project (see attachment). So, appears that Oxide is not a drop- in replacement for web engine. Also, I found hardly any documentation on Oxide other than a blog post. I also found https://launchpad.net/oxide but that is very scare on details or documentation. If you have any other pointers, please let us know. Otherwise, our best course of action is to package QT ourselves.
