Please unblock package webkit2gtk

Starting from buster webkit2gtk has been receiving security updates,
with a dozen DSAs published so far, at a pace of once every month or
two. These updates follow the upstream stable releases.

webkit2gtk 2.32.1 was published on the 10th of May and it belongs to
the new 2.32.x stable branch (which started on the 26th of March with
the 2.32.0 release).

This fixes three security bugs: CVE-2021-1871, CVE-2021-1844 and
CVE-2021-1788. You can see the details here:

   https://webkitgtk.org/security/WSA-2021-0003.html

According to the CVE description, Apple is aware that the first of
those bugs may have been actively exploited.

Since this is a new stable branch (2.30.x -> 2.32.x) I wanted to give
it more time than usual before proposing an unblock to detect possible
regressions.

We found two:

 - https://bugs.debian.org/987448

   The titles of articles of RSS feeds have wrong colors due to broken
   CSS. This is due to upstream changes in WebKitGTK and required
   changes in Liferea. Liferea is now fixed in testing and works fine
   with WebKitGTK 2.32.x

   NOTE: theoretically other packages could have similar problems, but
   we haven't detected any.

 - https://bugs.debian.org/987686

   An autopkgtest regression. This is actually not a bug in WebKitGTK,
   but the new dependency on xdg-desktop-portal-gtk triggers it. I
   downgraded the dependency to a recommendation and the problem is
   gone. I also uploaded a patch for balsa.

I am not aware of any other regression. 2.32.0 was uploaded to
unstable on the 22nd of April and 2.32.1 on the 10th of May.

I would like to have this version of webkit2gtk unblocked and after
that I'll prepare a new security update for buster.

Thanks,

Berto
