@Luke: I followed steps 1 to 3 of the procedure for an SRU, please let
me know if more input is needed from my side.

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: epiphany-browser
  
  In epiphany 2.30.2 in lucid, the user agent string is the following:
  
  Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr-fr) AppleWebKit/531.2+ (KHTML, like
  Gecko) Safari/531.2+ Debian/squeeze/sid () Epiphany/2.30.2
  
  To be compared with the user agent string exposed by firefox:
  
  Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100423
  Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6.3
  
  This makes detecting the version of Ubuntu at best difficult.
  The user agent string can be inspected easily at e.g. 
http://useragentstring.com/.
+ 
+ 
+ Information for an SRU:
+ 
+ Impact of the bug on users: when browsing a dynamic website that relies
+ on the user agent string to determine the OS and its version and display
+ content accordingly, the user may not get the intended content (such a
+ web site may be e.g. the Ubuntu support and learning center, as was
+ discussed last UDS: see
+ https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/community-m-ubuntu-
+ support-and-learning-center).
+ 
+ Fixed in the development branch: by modifying the branding.conf file
+ (see related branches).
+ 
+ TEST CASE:
+  1) Open Epiphany (Applications menu > Internet > Epiphany Web Browser)
+  2) Browse to http://useragentstring.com/
+  3) Inspect the user agent string
+  Expected result: the string contains "Ubuntu/10.04 LTS"
+  Current result: the string contains "Debian/squeeze/sid"
+ 
+ Regression potential: None as far as I know.

** Summary changed:

- User Agent string says "Debian/squeeze/sid ()" instead of "Ubuntu/10.04 
(lucid)"
+ User Agent string says "Debian/squeeze/sid ()" instead of "Ubuntu/10.04 LTS 
(lucid)"
