Bug Description
Availability: in universe: amd64, i386, armhf
Rationale: signon-ui uses qtwebkit for login to online accounts, to work on the ubuntu touch devices we need the qt5 port of that.
Security: it's webkit...
Dependencies: qtsensors5-dev, qtlocation5-dev and qt3d-opensource-src in universe
Maintenance: The maintainers of the Qt5 packages for ubuntu have been preparing the packages for debian as well, ensuring they are compatible. Hopefully, in the future well be able to just sync from debian.

Webkit maintenance is a major problem and we have a blueprint (https:/ /blueprints. launchpad. net/ubuntu/ +spec/client- 1303-webkit- maintenance) for trying to come up with a supportable version of webkit, and qtwebkit- opensource- src is *not* it. The current plan is to provide a different, Canonical-supported library for the SDK and any other applications that want to use it. Applications that want to be Canonical-supported will be required to use this library instead of qtwebkit- opensource- src.
That said, this new library is not available now, so we shouldn't block online accounts and the SDK on this work. However, we should not be promoting things that use qtwebkit- opensource- src to main unless we plan to move them over to the new library in the future. In an ideal world, this library will exist for 13.10, but more realistically, it will be in place for 14.04. Once this new library is available, everything Canonical-supported should move to the new library so we can demote qt5webkit and qt4webkit.
Temporary security team ACK.
