Bug Description

devhelp (and as a result anjuta) have been transitioned to webkit2gtk in debian. We still need to use webkitgtk 1 as it works with our geoclue/geoip stack and webkit2gtk can't really be in main with it due to security issues with 2 different webkitgtks.
devhelp has no huge need to be in main, but until it is demoted or webkit2gtk is promoted, we should revert the change. Debdiff for devhelp attached.

---------------
devhelp (3.16.1-1ubuntu1) wily; urgency=medium

  * Revert until this is dropped to universe or webkit2gtk is main: LP: #1459434
    - debian/control.in:
      + Switch to libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev.
      + Break anjuta << 2:3.14.0-2 to prevent anjuta from mixing
        libwebkit2gtk-3.0 and libwebkit2gtk-4.0.
