Having the binaries that depend on webkit2gtk be in universe with webkitgtk2 source only in main is fine (so long as later we don't allow its binaries to be promoted-- note the MainINclusionRequests page has this to say "New binary packages from existing source packages, where the source package is already in main, do not require reports"), so we probably need to refine that language.

I don't understand how source only promotion is going to fix the issue. Aren't the packages that use webkitgtk2 going to pull the -dev and the corresponding lib* packages from webkitgtk2 in during the build, and therefore those webkitgtk2 packages also need to be in main? (Did I miss a change to the archive on this point?)
