webkit is a different source package:
https://packages.qa.debian.org/w/webkit.html
As is webkitgtk:
https://packages.qa.debian.org/w/webkitgtk.html
I'm talking about https://packages.qa.debian.org/w/webkit2gtk.html
And obviously, since "qtwebkit" and "webkit" are both mentioned
already, the mentioning of "webkit" does not imply any webkit fork as
otherwise "qtwebkit" wouldn't be in there.
