strace shows

7243  open("/usr/lib/girepository-1.0/WebKit2-4.0.typelib", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

The file is found in the gir1.2-webkit2-4.0 package. Looks like the
module is unusable without that, so raising the severity.

The build time tests pass because of the build-dep on
libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev (which pulls in gir1.2-webkit2-4.0); perhaps that's
the right thing to do for runtime as well?
