The upstream for the qt5webkit5 is not Qt.io but somewhere in the KDE trees.

WebKit.org has this statement

"QT is no longer a supported port of WebKit since 2013. This document is 
retained for historical reasons only. For further information, please 
consult ​http://www.qt.io/"

I have just got work out why my 16.10 system still has qt5.5 on it.

Then backport the 17.04 WebKit package on to it.


Sorry about the delay in posting this. I forgot to hit send and then went 
out to walk the dog.

Yes panic over. Just need something for 16.04 and 16.10 until 17.04 is 
released.
