Interesting, thanks a lot. That looks like it will make the work much easier for the maintainers after the Stretch release, just what they were looking for ;-). I wonder if there's a reason why they went with the same package name instead of using a different name (say, libqt5webkit-ng5), and then adding Provides/Breaks to allow replacement. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
