Note that there is unofficial package already:

http://repo.paretje.be/unstable/#

See packages libqt5webkit5, libqt5webkit5-dev

Git repo of package is at https://gitlab.com/paretje/qtwebkit/tree/master/debian

Package is loosely based of webkitgtk's, and contains a few build dependencies that are not actually needed:

libharfbuzz-dev, libfreetype6-dev, libfontconfig1-dev (these are used when qtbase is built, not directly in qtwebkit)
libgnutls28-dev, libsoup2.4-dev, libenchant-dev, geoclue-2.0, libsecret-1-dev - not used at all
libxt-dev - probably unused as well

Otherwise, packaging files look good to me


Interesting, thanks a lot. That looks like it will make the work much
easier for the maintainers after the Stretch release, just what they
were looking for ;-).

I wonder if there's a reason why they went with the same package name
instead of using a different name (say, libqt5webkit-ng5), and then
adding Provides/Breaks to allow replacement.
If I recall correctly, it was because of the versioned dependency of python3-pyqt5.qtwebkit. But, it seems I didn't look well, as support for versioned Provides has been added in 2014 ...
