On latest vivid, the following binary packages still depend on
libqt5webkit5, making it stay on the image:

signon-ui-x11 (signon-ui): libqt5webkit5
ubuntu-html5-container (ubuntu-html5-theme): qml-module-qtwebkit
webapp-container (webbrowser-app): qml-module-qtwebkit
qtdeclarative5-ubuntu-ui-extras-browser-plugin (webbrowser-app): qml-module-qtwebkit
ubuntu-sdk-libs (ubuntu-touch-meta): qml-module-qtwebkit

Bug description:
  The argument to remove this is based on the following:

  The qtwebkit webview is deprecated for our sdk and we will not be supporting it long term
  We are supporting an Oxide/Chromium solution for the Ubuntu.Webview
  This was done largely for security reasons
  The qtwebkit package is large and we would like to reduce image and install size 
  We want to discourage app devs from using this api any longer, the review tools have indicated this for several months
