Dear MichaƂ Dutkiewicz <emd...@gmail.com>,
 
As you might know the Debian Qt/KDE team are preparing to remove Qt4's WebKit 
as announced in [announce].

[announce]
<https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2015/05/msg00001.html>


Basically they are about to get the latest Qt4 point release and upstream is 
migrating from WebKit to Bing in the Qt5 series, so they won't have much 
upstream support for maintaining Qt4's WebKit.
 
In order to make this move, all packages directly or indirectly depending on 
the Qt4's WebKit library have to either get ported to Qt5 or eventually get 
removed from the Debian repositories.


Please, let me know if there is a Qt5 port (or plan for it) so that I can 
package it.




= Porting =

Some of the Debian Qt/KDE team where involved in various Qt4 to Qt5 migrations 
[migration] and they know for sure that porting stuff from Qt4 to Qt5 is much 
much easier and less painful than it was from Qt3 to Qt4.

They also understand that there is still a lot of software still using Qt4. In
order to ease the transition time they have provided Wheezy backports for
Qt5.

Don't forget to take a look at the C++ API changes page [apichanges]
whenever you start porting your application.
