webkitgtk_4_0: drop 

libsoup 2 is unmaintained so WebkitGTK decided to drop support for it in next release in March 2026:
https://discourse.gnome.org/t/webkitgtk-is-removing-support-for-libsoup-2/31873

Since the package is security critical, we backport all updates to stable.
Let’s remove it before branch-off to avoid breaking stable when that version is backported.

- GHC 8.6, 8.10, 9.0, 9.2, and their package sets have been removed.



- `webkitgtk_4_0` has been removed because it depends on an unmaintained version of security-critical libsoup library (`libsoup_2`) and the support will be [dropped upstream soon](https://webkitgtk.org/2025/10/07/webkitgtk-soup2-deprecation.html).



- Support for bootstrapping native GHC compilers on 32‐bit ARM and little‐endian 64‐bit PowerPC has been dropped.

  The latter was probably broken anyway.

  If there is interest in restoring support for these architectures, it should be possible to cross‐compile a bootstrap GHC binary.
