I fail to see how this makes sense.

Any fix for swt-gtk should also include fixing the other RC bug #879170, 
and that would keep webkitgtk in buster - removing webkitgtk from buster 
without also removing libswt-webkit-gtk-3-jni is simply wrong.

An actual fix has to include either updating Eclipse or removing 
Eclipse from buster.
