I agree that epiphany-webkit is not release-quality for many reasons,
but it is still far more featured than several browsers we are already
shipping, like elinks or amaya.

I don’t know if it is possible to ignore a sole binary package or if it
would be necessary to re-upload epiphany to t-p-u without the webkit
package. Frankly, I’d like to avoid the latter.
