** Description changed:
Several webkit1 reverse-dependencies have been removed from Debian
Testing ('buster').
While I'd like to see them removed from unstable too (or ported away
from webkit1), that will take quite a while longer.
Removed from testing
====================
bibledit-gtk (note that the source package bibledit is ok and it ships the
same package names)
cyclograph
gnome-web-photo
gnucash
gphedit
luakit
+ monodevelop
thawab
xiphos
xtrkcad
webkitgtk-sharp3
zekr
Scheduled for autoremoval on or after August 13
===============================================
sparkleshare
sugar-read-activity
typecatcher
webkitgtk-sharp3
Never in Debian
===============
lightdm-webkit-greeter
Mike Gabriel from Debian MATE has begun preparing web-greeter (the renamed
version of lightdm-webkit-greeter)
Not scheduled for removal in Debian yet but why not?
====================================================

I think the most difficult one on this list for some people is gnucash.
Fedora 27 (due ~November) is actually bundling webkit1 inside the gnucash
packaging. There will be a beta version of gnucash ported to gtk3 available
later this year. Hard to say whether it's better to offer a beta or just remove
it entirely.
The other hard one is empathy. It has been ported to webkit2 in git, but
nobody at GNOME cares enough or has enough confidence in it to release a
new version from git master. Fedora might handle this one.
+ monodevelop may be useful to some people but I don't think Mono ever got
+ around to releasing a stable gtk3 version of Mono.

Arch Linux has already completely removed webkit1.
