I was still confused - boinc currently uses webview in unstable; poedit
did, but only in experimental.  Nothing else uses these packages
currently though.

But since boinc *is* still using it (I missed the '-R' off of dak rm
when checking), I've re-enabled the webview packages for now, so
reopening.
