There is one: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/qt6-webview

Are you perhaps confusing Qt WebView with Qt WebKit ?

Usually, we try to avoid packaging the private headers. But for some 
packages, we just need to. And that's because other packages depend on 
them incl. other Qt submodules.
We don't have a rule set in stone, but we usually package private 
headers when either another Qt submodule needs them (e.g. qtwebview 
needs the private headers of qtwebengine, hence we package them) or when 
important KDE components need them (e.g. qtwayland).
