Public bug reported:

libwpe and wpebackend-fdo have no remaining reverse dependencies in
Ubuntu. They are libraries related to wpewebkit (and once used by
webkit2gtk) but I believe we would rather not be responsible for
Security support for libraries that we are not even using.

It looks like they are still used in Debian by cog.

Please remove these packages from Ubuntu and add to the sync blocklist
like was done with cog and wpewebkit.

$ reverse-depends src:libwpe

* libwpebackend-fdo-1.0-1       (for libwpe-1.0-1)
