    Hello

    qtwebengine has the noticeable lack of not supporting one of the
    standing architectures for the stable debian releases: ppc64el.

    This has been reported upstream:
    https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-56465 https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-120034

    The reason used is that there is no official support of ppc64el in
    Chromium.

    But Debian's Chromium supports ppc64el, there are binaries of
    chromium for ppc64el since 2022: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1005083#40

    Due to the time elapsed since the upstream reports, I think it is
    appropriate to apply the necessary changes downstream in Debian.

    Thank you very much.

    I think the best place to focus your efforts in on upstream Qt
    WebEngine. Debian is unlikely to ship support for an architecture in
    a package as complex as Qt WebEngine if it is not supported upstream.
