Package version should not be added to User-Agent

[Felix Eckhofer]

No matter which settings are used for the User-Agent-String in Konqueror, it will always look something like
this: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.4) KHTML/3.4.2 (like Gecko) (Debian package 4:3.4.2-0ubuntu0hoary2)

However, the appended "Debian package..."-String has no value for the user, but on the other hand is a serious
privacy issue. Given the small numbers of persons using Konqueror for Browsing, many internet sites may be able
to track a single user quite effectively using that very information. Regardless, there are many valid reasons
not to let random web pages know what exact version of a program you are running.

I therefore request to remove the exact package version from the user-agent-string or at least make it
configurable (default should be "off", imho).

Thank you very much for your consideration.

On feisty, the default string is
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux) KHTML/3.5.5 (like Gecko) (Kubuntu)

This is configurable by going to Tools>Change Browser Identification>Configure...
