Hi all! (And sorry for the late response. debian-qt-...@lists.debian.org is a list for bots, so I didn't get it in my inbox. It's better to use pkg-kde-t...@alioth-lists.debian.net or <package>@packages.debian.org.)

I think we can do this, but why do you think such tool should be provided by Qt WebEngine, not by Chromium itself? Chromium is the main upstream for convert_dict tool, while Qt WebEngine is one of several wrappers around it (e.g. another one is Electron). Also having it in Chromium will help to avoid the problem with versions, as there is always only one version of Chromium. Source code for convert_dict is present in the Chromium tarball [1], so it shouldn't be hard to provide a new binary package for it. (Maybe this was already discussed in the thread, but I did not read every message, please give me a link if it's the case.)
