/me is on testing, I have to make my laptop windows dual boot again :-(

No, don't worry I'll be okay, but I am wondering what the implications
are of the 'disabling webkit' action.

>From [0] I draw the conclusion that the html widget in composer is not
working then anymore, and I'm wondering what else is depending on
webkit... I can do without the html widgets but...

Will I be able to build QGIS without webkit then?
Or should I stop updating Debian on my machine untill QGIS 3.0 :-)

Let's have a chat about it in next PSC meeting next wednesday

Regards,

Richard
