Public bug reported:

edubuntu-live-welcome depends on python-webkit which uses WebKit 1 which
is no longer supported and will be removed from Debian and Ubuntu.

Now that Edubuntu is on hold[2], nothing in Ubuntu uses this app.

The app is rather simple [3] so it wouldn't be that difficult for
someone to port it forward to GTK3, GObject Introspection and WebKit2.
On the other hand, if someone were to revive Edubuntu they might just
use as easily use ubiquity-slideshow-edubuntu or ubuntu-mate-welcome or
something else instead.
