## Notes

---

### [jdstrand](https://launchpad.net/~jdstrand)

qtjsbackend-opensource-src contains an embedded libv8, however
applications using qtjsbackend-opensource-src should not process untrusted
javascript and therefore Ubuntu will not process updates for libv8 in this
package. (See LP: #1157732 for details)

### [mikesalvatore](https://launchpad.net/~mikesalvatore)

The Ubuntu Security Team does not support libv8
