Public bug reported:

penguintv depends on python-webkit, which is deprecated and going to be removed 
from the archive. tunesviewer should switch to using the GObject Introspection 
bindings for webkit, ideally gir1.2-webkit2-4.0 for Webkit2 and gtk+3 as 
upstream has already dropped WebKit1 (so gir1.2-webkit-1.0 and 
gir1.2-webkit-3.0 are likely to be dropped from Debian and Ubuntu in the near 
future). This would mean
switching to GObject Introspection for other bindings as well, e.g. GLib and 
GTK+, so making the switch to GTK+ 3 at the same time would make a lot of sense.

For more information on GObject Introspection see [1] and [2].
