Small correction: s/qtwebkit/qtwebengine/.

QtWebEngine bundles Chromium whose upstream is actively working on
Python 3 port [1]. Most probably it won't be ready in time for Bullseye,
but for Bookworm it should be ready (or rather, Qt WebEngine 6 will
use Python 3, and we will remove Qt WebEngine 5).

There are also patches from the FreeBSD maintainer [2], but they are huge
(2200 lines in total) and the author reports that they cause some JS errors,
so I would better not apply them and wait for an official port.

Qt WebEngine in Debian is not supported from security point of view anyway,
so I think it should be fine to let it use Python 2 in Bullseye.
