Hi, upstream WebKit developer here. I just want to mention that WebKit1
is no longer receiving security updates, so if you only want one version
in main, it would be good to use WebKit2 instead if possible. Porting
everything to WebKit2 is going to be a years-long process, I'm afraid,
though your help could speed that up a lot (thanks!).

(I guess this doesn't make too much difference for you, since I see your
WebKit2 package is still on 2.6.2 from last October. Imagine not
updating Firefox in that time. Maybe you don't realize, but each new
version includes fixes for mistakes that allow web sites to take control
of your computer. 2.6.5 includes a fix for a mistake in the TLS code
that results in your session cookies being sent to attackers. We are
unfortunately very bad at announcing these problems and need to do
better. Anyway, the current recommended version is 2.8.3.)
