AFAIK 3.x is active in Sid thanks to Dmitry Smirnov, who’s been doing the Debian packaging for the last couple of years. The Debian folks seem to be in less of a rush than Red Hat to get rid of libwebkit1. We were contacted in late March by the Ubuntu packagers who were getting ready for 18.04. Not wanting a dot-zero release in an LTS Ubuntu we suggested that they should use the latest 2.6.x; I think that they picked 2.6.19. I like to imagine that they’ll put 3.3 in 18.10. I don’t know anything about who maintains Getdeb. Maybe Colin will have some insight.
