Public bug reported:

Note to SRU Team
================
This is a new source package for xenial.

We need libwoff1 and libwoff-dev promoted to main. The binary package
named "woff2" should be in universe.

The approved MIR which mentions this will be done is LP: #17427423

This SRU depends on the brotli SRU LP: #1795077

Impact
======
webkit2gtk 2.20 released in March 2018 dropped its embedded brotli and woff2 libraries to use the system libraries. Because that version is a security update, webkit2gtk has not had support for woff2 web fonts since then in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

Test Case
=========
Build webkit2gtk against woff2 and verify that woff2 fonts appear to work on web sites.

Regression Potential
====================
N/A This is a new library. It has been used by webkit2gtk in Debian Testing for 6 months.
