I mentioned briefly in that bug report that rekonq is not the only general 
purpose web browser using qtwebkit:
* arora is also using it and it wasn't removed from the archive.
* Konqueror can be configured to use qtwebkit as engine, however it wasn't 
removed from the archive nor patched to not use qtwebkit
* qupzilla is using it and it wasn't removed from the archive

So the way I see it, debian could deal with this in three different ways:
1. removing rekonq, arora and qupzilla from unstable and patch konqueror to 
not use qtwebkit
2. not removing anything and let rekonq be re-uploaded to debian sid
3. remove the browser which I am maintaining (note that I am uploading fresh 
rekonq packages to a debian derivative) while at the same time other browsers 
based on qtwebkit are available in unstable

My favourite option is 2.
The option 1 is not my favourite but acceptable for me because at least it's 
coherent.
The option 3 is the one which is currently being done. The way I see it it's 
completely unacceptable and I'm considering to escalate this to the tech-ctte 
if we are going to continue with it.

Last but not least, if we go for the option 1 at least I would expect to be 
able to upload rekonq to experimental.
