Interesting, thanks a lot. That looks like it will make the work much
easier for the maintainers after the Stretch release, just what they
were looking for ;-).
I wonder if there's a reason why they went with the same package name
instead of using a different name (say, libqt5webkit-ng5), and then
adding Provides/Breaks to allow replacement.
