Starting from version 2.54.0, WebKitGTK uses Skia for rendering and
has removed Cairo support. This has the consequence that the package
can no longer be built on big-endian targets, because those are not
supported by Skia.
In Debian almost all of the official ports are unaffected by this, but
this does impact s390x and several of the unofficial ports, so all
packages that depend on WebKitGTK on the affected ports need to be
removed or modified to disable that dependency.
If we assume that evolution-data-server (#1148040), wxwidgets3.2
(#1148041) and meta-gnome (#1148042) can be fixed, it looks like the
packages needing removal from s390x would be the list below. Some of
them can maybe be skipped, if they only build `Architecture: all` binary
packages.

# Broken Depends:
evolution-data-server: libedataserverui-1.2-4t64
libedataserverui4-1.0-0t64
meta-gnome: gnome
gnome-core
gnome-devel
wxwidgets3.2: libwxgtk-webview3.2-1t64
# Broken Build-Depends:
evolution-data-server: libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev
libwebkitgtk-6.0-dev
fonts-beteckna: birdfont
wxwidgets3.2: libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev
fonts-beteckna Build-Depends on birdfont, but it's Architecture: all, so
I think we can ignore that.
It would probably be possible to cut down this list significantly if
src:swt4-gtk can drop its libswt-webkit-gtk-4-jni binary package,
similar to #1148041.
