Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (and other recent distros) build the 4.1 API of webkit2gtk so I don't think you need to worry about supporting 4.0.

I didn't touch the snapcraft yaml file which would should first be switched to core22 (to build using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS).

webkit2gtk 4.1 switches from libsoup2.4 to libsoup3
and distros don't want to build webkit2gtk 4.0 any more
- meson uses Python3 and ninja-build
- python2.7 doesn't exist in Debian 12 or the latest Ubuntu release

We are now slowly working on dropping libsoup_2_4 in nixos (tracked in NixOS/nixpkgs#360897), which is a transient dependency via webkitgtk_4_0. Bookworm is one of the very few packages still depending on the old webkitgtk. I believe this PR is important.
