Hi Frank,

I fear that there will be no newer package for Qupzilla in Debian until:
- either Qupzilla gives up its dependency on QtWebEngine
- or somebody steps forward and decides to cope with the burden of
  maintaining QtWebengine inside Debian
- or somebody patches Qupzilla in order to use QtWebKit instead of
  QtWebEngine. I shall not try to maintain such a patch against new
  versions of Qupzilla.

Here is an excerpt of a build attempt:

     debian/rules override_dh_auto_configure
         make[1]: Entering directory '/build/qupzilla-2.0.1~dfsg1'
         qmake -qt5 # enforce Qt5 build
         Project ERROR: QupZilla requires at least QtWebEngine 5.6!
         debian/rules:19: recipe for target 'override_dh_auto_configure' failed

Best regards,                   Georges.
