Thanks for forwarding this to me Pierre. The new monolithic QT packages
with qtwebengine is derived from the now deprecated qt package, which
has since been removed from guix, which is understandable since the
module packages are more ideal.

This new monolithic package stills suffers from the same issue as my
modular qtwebengine. In that there are many in tree third party
dependencies. It's not trivial to simply switch to guix inputs for
these.

This package is an improvement on my module qtwebengine package. Since
it does not suffer from the same locales issues.
