Release to remove it from: Zesty
Remove both the source package and all binary packages?: Yes
Package rdepends: None
Rationale:
lightdm-webkit-greeter uses the old webkitgtk (webkit 1) api which is currently in the process of being removed from the archive[1]. The greeter's code was updated two years ago to use the new webkit2gtk (webkit2) api. Since then it has been, and continues to be, actively developed under the name lightdm-webkit2-greeter[2].
