Please remove libwpe & wpebackend-fdo from Ubuntu

[Jeremy Bícha]

libwpe and wpebackend-fdo have no remaining reverse dependencies in Ubuntu. They are libraries related to wpewebkit (and once used by webkit2gtk) but I believe we would rather not be responsible for Security support for libraries that we are not even using.

It looks like they are still used in Debian by cog.

Please remove these packages from Ubuntu and add to the sync blocklist like was done with cog and wpewebkit.
