Looks like this package was partly enabled to fix a problem with the
build without it:

https://bugs.debian.org/821934

So it might not actually be as easy as you might think to disable
webview here before we disable it in wxwidgets3.0...

I'll kick off a build and see.  If it doesn't just work, I'm inclined
to disable this at the same time as we do wxwidgets3.0.
