My take on this is not positive, as my understanding now is that phantomjs
upstream itself is under-resourced compared to the scale of the problem
they're tackling. :/  In a similar position at my day job, we are migrating
our test suite from ghostdriver to chromedriver, which is both faster and
maintained by the Chromium team.  If you are using a lot of the Javascript
API that phantomjs provides, I can imagine that this would not be possible,
however.

To fix the package in Debian, you need to get some v2.x version working,
because this is the only route to building with system Qt and webkit.  So
far, however, takaki says the git snapshot doesn't compile.

Because I've found a workaround for $dayjob, I'm not actively working on
this any more, I'm afraid.

Kind regards,
