PyQt4 is not the problem - without it QGIS 2.x wouldn't run at all.

But QtWebKit is not available for PyQt4 anymore in Debian/Ubuntu.  IIRC because
the webkit C++ libraries were about to be removed and PyQt4.QtWebKit was
removed upfront.  QGIS itself doesn't use it, but a bunch of plugins do -
openlayers being one of them.

So this is not an actual qgis packaging problem, nor an upstream problem, nor a
problem of the plugin.

The removal of the C++ libraries never happened and the QGIS packages from
qgis.org include the PyQt4.QtWebKit bindings based on the still available
libraries.
