Description Ethan Anderson 2010-05-23 22:34:02 UTC 
Epiphany packages should not include useragents, they should be generated using uname on first run.
Comment 1 Gustavo Noronha (kov) 2010-05-24 20:32:18 UTC 
I don't understand your complaint, to be honest. Epiphany does use an auto-generated User Agent string that has correct values for OS version and platform, by default.
Comment 2 Ethan Anderson 2010-05-26 03:20:58 UTC 
I'm running Epiphany on Ubuntu Lucid and it identifies as Debian.

Canonical may in some sense use Debian, but I personally do not.

Please file your request with the Canonical packaging team. This is not something for the Epiphany developers to solve.

Thanks!

That is because Canonical took the packages I created for Debian, and did not change the patch that customizes the User Agent. I don't see how upstream can help you with this, as Reinout already pointed out.

@Ethan: there is a bug report in Ubuntu (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/epiphany-browser/+bug/578717), it is already fixed in the source package for Maverick and I did a request for a Stable Release Update to get it in Lucid as well.
