Dear Maintainer, As announced four years ago [1], we want to remove Qt 4.x WebKit from archive. Unfortunately we failed to remove it from Stretch or from Buster, but now time has come and it will not be part of Bullseye. Your package relies on Qt 4.x WebKit and uses it via pyside. Pyside is scheduled for autoremoval from testing and your package will be removed transitively. However, I am asking you to also get rid of Qt 4.x WebKit dependency in sid, or request the removal of this package. Upstream has ported the package to Qt5 and PySide2 [2]. Unfortunately, in Debian the PySide2 package is built without WebKit support. If you are interested, we can fix this. Also you can try to use PyQt5 which has mostly compatible API and is built without WebKit support.
