I see it on sparc and ia64 as well. And I expect it to be available on other
architectures too :)

No, you don't need.
Packages should be targetted to unstable, and current unstable has
libqtwebkit-dev. The unavailability of libqtwebkit-dev on other arches is a bug
(see the two FTBFS filed against it), and should be fixed by its maintainers,
not certainly workarounded by "downstream" maintainers ;)

Kindly,
David
