The dependency chain here looks like this:

unity -> bamfdaemon -> libunity-webapps0 -> unity-webapps-service ->
webapp-container -> webbrowser-app.

My initial feeling was that bamfdaemon just shouldn't depend on
libunity-webapps0, because we dropped a bunch of webapps code from bamf
following the switch to the container, however upon looking at the code
there it seems bamf and libunity-webapps are tightly integrated, so that
seemed like a nontrivial task to split.

Then I started looking at the chain and it wasn't clear to me whether
unity-webapp-service should stop depending on webapp-container, or
whether webapp-container stop depending on webbrowser-app.

Title:
  Dependency on webbrowser-app seems ill-advised

Status in “libunity-webapps” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  So if a user decides to uninstall webbrowser-app then they will basically destroy their install. If done thru software-center there is no real indication of what is about to happen. (Bug  1278869 )
  If done thru the Dash even a bit worse as the uninstall(s) are done silently in the background
