The only question here is whether we should change the dependency from webkit on xdg-desktop-portal-gtk with a recommendation, as the reporter requests. I think it's not completely unreasonable to do so because webkit does work without the portal (although with suboptimal quality, as explained in #987948) and there are probably use cases for which the portal is not needed. It would also have the side effect of fixing the balsa autopkgtest bug described in #987686. Berto
