WebKitGTK can no longer work on big-endian architectures as a result of an
upstream move from Cairo to Skia, as announced in
<https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2026/09/msg00139.html> and #1148038.
This is one of the leaf packages that will need to be removed from s390x
as a result.

stremio is a WebKitGTK shell, so there is nothing to disable on
big-endian: webkit6 is a hard dependency of the application itself.

I am leaving Architecture: any, as epiphany-browser does, so it would come
back by itself if WebKitGTK ever supports big-endian again.
