A quick search indicates it went away in Fed27 for security reasons.

Same applies to Debian.  It won't be in next stable, having been removed
from testing.  The reasons being a) it's old (not a crime in itself) and
b) it's unmaintained.

At this point you have four choices:

Use the dillo plugin 
Install the webkit stuff from source
Wait for fancy-plugin to be ported to webkit2
Do away with html viewer plugins altogether

Each has its own (de)merits.  The third is option depends on whether such
a move is planned.  I know nothing about that.

I could keep the old webkit packages necessary to build the fancy
plugin, but sooner or later, an update will force their removal.  So I
decided to do away with html plugins altogether (dillo looks awful) in
Claws and just open anything that absolutely must be displayed as HTML in
a browser.
