And we normally have the grafting mechanism for just that. The problem
with WebkitGTK 2.42 is that paths change, so we can't graft it.

From the manual:

The webkitgtk-* family collectively accounts for more than 600
rebuilds, three of them being webkit (i.e. you'll wait 10 hours while
your machine nearly dies grasping for more RAM). Even with a graft,
I'd first verify that it builds on CI.
Plus, I don't see how this series accounts for webkitgtk-next, i.e. the
GTK4 variant. We have that over at gnome-team already, but a
nontrivial amount of work went into getting it into a functional state.
I've cherry-picked them onto a wip-webkit branch now. Hopefully we can
merge that faster than gnome itself.
Cheers
